Recycling
Plymouth Township offers year round curbside recycling to our residents. All
single family residences and multiple family residences that utilize our solid
waste services should have an orange recycle bin on the premises. If you do not,
please call the Solid Waste Department, (734) 354-3270, so that you are
able to participate in this important program.
Residences that use separate waste hauler services are also offered recycling
options through the Township. Please call the department for more information.
Recycle Bin Lids Now Available
In response to the requests of some of our residents the Charter Township of Plymouth has made available lids for the orange recycle bins currently used. The cost of the lids will be $4.00 each and are available at Division of Public Services located at
9955 N. Haggerty Road from 8:00 am to
4:30 pm, M-F. Please contact the Solid Waste Department at 734-354-3270 for further information.
