Pittsfield Fall Cleanup Day Set for Oct. 22

“As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship and public service, this year’s Fall Clean-Up Day will continue to provide Pittsfield Township residents with a free and easy way to recycle and responsibly dispose of almost anything,” stated Supervisor Mandy Grewal.

“During our past three Clean-Up Days, we unloaded 1629 vehicles, recycled 1191 tires, 40.25 tons of electronics, and 22.24 tons of scrap metal.  We also safely disposed of 67.58 tons of trash,” Grewal recounted. 

Pittsfield Charter Township will hold its 2011 Fall Clean-Up Day on Saturday, October 22, 2011, between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the Robert A. Lillie Township Administration Building, located at 6201 W. Michigan Avenue.  Held rain or shine, Clean-up Day is for Pittsfield Township residents only, who will be required to provide proof of residency to participate in this FREE community activity.

Items that will not be accepted include paint, aerosols, paint thinner, pesticides, flammables, regular household garbage, and yard waste.

“I encourage people to plan ahead and mark their calendars for Saturday, October 22, 2011, to take advantage of this free opportunity to recycle and dispose of unwanted items in an environmentally friendly manner,” concluded Grewal.
