Transition to a new cart-based waste and recycling collection system
Beginning July 20, ACW Township will transition to a new cart-based waste and recycling collection system. These changes are being implemented by our waste collection contractor, Waste Management, as part of updates to the collection program. Most residents will receive wheeled carts for garbage and recycling collection. Your collection schedule will remain the same.
Some lakeshore residents will continue using designated transition/staging areas for collection due to limited curbside access. Watch your mail for important information specific to your property.
Key Changes:
- No more bag tags required
- Automated cart collection
- Improved recycling program with more accepted materials
Cart deliveries will be June 29 - July 10, 2026,
