Update to Garbage Service on the Island
Garbage collection on Drummond Island is provided by private businesses. Current options include GFL dumpsters with Friday pickup, Carl Hartman’s residential pickup service, and prepaid bag drop-off at Bailey’s Service Station and EZ Mart.
​
When Carl’s new transfer station is ready to open, the gas station drop-off sites will close, and his facility will become the island’s garbage drop-off location. He will also continue offering weekly or biweekly residential pickup. The timing of the station opening is not yet known.
​
For details about the new transfer station, including its location and opening plans, please read Carl Hartman’s full letter here: http://bit.ly/3Ih1F3p.
Senior Lunch
Senior lunches, provided through the Community Action Agency, are served at the Township Hall Monday through Thursday at noon. Meals are available for dine-in or takeout.
If you have questions, contact Frank at (906) 493-5059.
