Garbage Cart Update 8/4/2021
Please DO NOT PAINT OR ADD YOUR ADDRESS WITH PERMANENT MARKER! you can use stick on letters/numbers if you want.
If you don't want your garbage cart please call 906/892-8265 and leave your name, address and phone number. Please don't give it to a neighbor.
GAD ran out of the garbage carts and will need to reorder, which may take several weeks. Until this occurs, garbage collection will continue as usual for those who don't have a cart. The affected areas that have not yet received a cart are roads east of Scott Falls Park on M28 through Christmas and a few areas around 16 Mile Lake. Au Train Township appreciates your patience with this process. Thank you.

One cart will be issued per residence. If you need more than one cart - they can be purchased from GAD (at a discounted rate of $75.00) or through Lowes or Menards. It needs to be a "tipper cart".
All household trash needs to be bagged and tied, no loose trash, yard waste or building materials may be placed in the carts. Individual bags should not weigh more than 30 lbs each. Carts will need to be placed at the curb before pickup, with the handle (not lid opening) facing the road. Trash located outside of the cart will not be picked up.
