Curb-Side Recycling
Schedule
Deerfield Townships and Isabella County Recycling Center have joined in a
curbside recycling partnership to bring recycling to your door. Starting in
March 2007 the County Recycling Center will provide curbside recycling to
residents in your townships.
Townships participating in this curbside recycling program can be certain
of many savings, including; reducing household trash, personal time spent
recycling, and gasoline paid for at the pump.
Isabella County’s and Deerfield Township’s commitment to recycling is
unique and focused on streamlining residential recycling in an effort to
provide a quality curbside recycling that is cost-effective.
Curbside recycling is one of the best ways to protect the environment,
especially in times of shrinking personal budgets of both time and money.
