The first Monday of the first week of each month from May through November is designated as "compost collection week." Compostable materials such as leaves, brush, weeds, grass clippings, pinecones, pine needles, plants, limbs, etc. will be collected separately from normal household refuse collection.

1. Materials to be collected must be placed out by 7:00 a.m. on Monday.
   
   
2. All material shall be placed in the front of the property on the road right-of-way within 10 feet of the road or pavement for collection, including special collection material. Brush must be placed neatly in bundles parallel to the road.
   
   
3. All compost must be in separate bags/containers. Each bag, container and brush bundle must not exceed 50 lbs. in weight.
   
   
4. Compost and brush collection is for regular yard maintenance only. Property clearing will not be collected by the township.
   
   
5. Special Collection: After a qualifying weather event, and following normal collection, the township may determine that there will be a special collection. Special collection is defined as larger than normal collection that requires additional township equipment and time. The DPW Superintendent and/or the Township Superintendent will determine if a weather event is considered to be a “qualifying weather event.” Residents are asked to call the Department of Public Works and request an assessment for special collection. The DPW will not be responsible for any damages to property during this collection.
   
   
6. Additionally, all Breitung Township Residents that would like to dispose of brush themselves are welcome to stop in at the Township Hall and check out a key to the Free Brush Pile on Second Street in Quinnesec. Compost is to continue to be transported to the Dickinson County Waste transfer site at N2500 Baler Rd. located behind the Tricity Cinema. Brush is defined as sticks and branches. Compost is leaves, pine needles, dirt and grass clippings.

Drop Boxes
You may utilize either one to drop off utility/tax payments, absentee ballots/applications, or any other Township correspondence.  The first box is located to the right of the front doors of the Township Office Building and requires you to park and walk up to it.  The second drop-box is located on the south side of the Township Office building, in front of the Board Room entrance, and allows you to drive-up and place your items in the box without having to leave your car.

PLEASE NOTE:  THE DRIVE-UP DROP-BOX LOOKS LIKE A USPS MAILBOX, HOWEVER, IT IS  NOT AVAILABLE FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOWNSHIP CORRESPONDENCE OR PAYMENTS.  PLEASE DO NOT PLACE YOUR USPS MAIL IN THE BOX.
