The Annual Community Cleanup Day will be held Saturday, May 3, at the DPW compound at 451 Morse Dr. from 7:00AM to 12:00PM. This year’s Cleanup will again be a joint effort between the City of Portland, Portland Township and Danby Township. Please take advantage of this FREE opportunity to clean up your property, garage and home. If everyone does a little bit, we can all make a big difference in improving the appearance of our community. Share the news of this joint effort with your friends and family that reside in either Portland Township or Danby Township!
ELIGIBILITY
You must be a resident of the City of Portland, Danby Township, or Portland Township to participate in the Community Cleanup. You will be asked to furnish a picture ID by the DPW attendant before being allowed to unload your truck or trailer. Each household will be limited to ONE TRAILER/PICK UP TRUCK LOAD in order to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate.
ACCEPTED ITEMS
Any type of junk or trash that can legally be placed in a landfill will be accepted. We cannot accept the following items: tires, lead acid batteries, sewage, yard trimmings, liquids, radioactive materials, barrels or drums (unless empty and crushed), compressed gas
cylinders (unless empty and disabled), appliances containing Freon (unless a valid reclamation sticker is attached). To keep our environment clean, do not cut the Freon lines on appliances; they WILL NOT be accepted without a sticker.
RECYCLABLES
We will also be separating recyclable materials such as tin, steel, and aluminum. Please keep this in mind when loading your truck or trailer, as we will have designated dumpsters for these items.
HAZARDOUS WASTE
Hazardous waste and electronic recycling will NOT be collected in Portland this year. Hazardous Waste collection WILL take place on April 12 and September 20 from 8:00AM to 12:00PM or by appointment through summer at the Ionia Public Works Department at 303 S. Jackson St., Ionia, MI 48846.
