Each site has large bins for commingled cardboard/paper; tin, glass (clear and colored) and plastic (#1 thru #7 accepted). PLEASE CLEAN AND FLATTEN YOUR CARDBOARD before placing in the bins.  DO NOT place materials in bags - leave materials loose and dump into the bins. 

The sites have security cameras and all bins are posted that leaving ANY materials on the ground is illegal and subject to fees up to $2,500 plus disposal costs. 

The bins are emptied throughout the week on an as-needed basis. The bins may fill up occasionally before we have the opportunity to empty them, especially on the weekends. To avoid this situation, try to do your recycling during the week when the sites aren't as busy. DO NOT LEAVE MATERIALS ON THE GROUND.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Leelanau County Planning and Community Development at (231) 256-9812.
