4. Why do I have to pay an annual garbage bill?
Every property owner in the township with a habitable dwelling must pay the annual fee of $35.00. Abbott & West Branch Townships
joined together and created the "Dumpster Site" with a township ordinance covering the annual fee and per pound weight for disposal. This fee is used to maintain the site and pay the help. The site does utilize recycling of plastic, clear glass, newspapers and cardboard at no cost to our property owners.
There is an additional fee of 9 cents per pound for the non-recycling items we dispose of.
