A reconstruction and repair project began today at the Township Hall property.  The existing asphalt pathway which surrounds the building, play area and athletic fields has begun to fall into disrepair.  This project will address this issue by replacing the asphalt with a concrete walkway.  In addition, a section of path will be built to connect with the Fire Hall complex to the north.

The reconstruction project will be ongoing through the summer with sections of the walkway unavailable for use.  Please avoid using any paths that are under construction during this time.

Thank you for your patience.

Weekly recycling will begin for all Township residents starting the week of May 3.

Residents can place their recycling bins out every week on their normal trash/recycling day beginning that week. Residents can confirm their trash/recycling pickup days at the My Schedule search box located on the Township Refuse and Recyling page found here.

Please remember to break down cardboard boxes. Do not put anything on top of the cart or outside of the cart. For a list of items that can be recycled, please visit the Waste Wizard search box on the Township Refuse and Recycling page found here.

There have been some changes initiated by the City of Howell regarding the cost of Park and Boat Launch passes due to budget shortfalls.
