Out of an abundance of caution, we are making the decision now to close the Newfield Township Recycle Center for Saturday, January 24, 2026 due to expected low temperatures and dangerous wind chills. The safety of our volunteers and our residents is of the greatest importance to us.

Please stay safe and warm this weekend. Check on your neighbors. We are all in this together.

The Newfield Township Planning Commission is happy to announce that the Fall Clean-Up Day is scheduled for Saturday, September 6, 2025 beginning at 9:00am and going until the dumpsters are full, or 1:00pm, whichever comes first.

This is a service for Newfield Township Property Owners to bring their refuse and scrap metal for disposal. This is a FREE service to Newfield Township property owners and residents, but donations are accepted to help defray costs, if desired. We are also looking for volunteers to help residents get their trash in the dumpsters. Contact the hall at (231) 854-4702 to let us know if you want to volunteer.

The following items are NOT PERMITTED at clean-up day, per our waste handler: Tires, Batteries, Televisions, Hazardous Waste (Oil Based Paints, fuels, thinners, flammable liquids, etc). These items can be taken to the County Household Hazardous Waste Day in August. Scrap metal is welcome at this event. Please keep scrap separate from other trash. Recyclable items can be placed in the proper receptacles at the Township Recycle Center!

Warning: The Event begins at 9:00am and ends by 1:00pm. NO EARLY OR LATE DUMPING!! The dumpster area is under video surveillance. Theft of scrap metal from the pile will be prosecuted.
