2026-2027 Garbage Mastodon Township is pleased to announce that we are continuing the value of our garbage program of $250 per year reimbursement per household. Waste Management has closed. There are several levels of service from Green For Life Environmental (GFL), you will have to call to get current charges. Contact them at 800-774-9006. The Garbage Voucher Program is changing a little. Township property owners will have to fill out a registration form before vouchers will be sent. The form has been sent with the spring newsletter. If you need another copy call or email us. In addition, the form can be completed on line by following the link at the bottom of this page. • The vouchers will cover services that fall from 4/1/26 through 3/31/27 • Garbage and recycling must be disposed at a local vendor – GFL or Tru-Recycling. • All Alpha residents who purchase garbage bags from the Village office can turn in those receipts for reimbursement. • If you have a dumpster, you can submit a copy of your monthly invoice for reimbursement • If you take garbage to GFL, you must collect a receipt for the amount paid. • You may use multiple combinations of vouchers to cover a receipt or you could use one voucher to cover multiple receipts. The amount on the voucher will be the maximum paid for each voucher sent in for reimbursement with appropriate receipts attached. The voucher has no cash value unless accompanied by acceptable receipts. No reimbursement will be given for a voucher submitted without a receipt. • Residents can also form a group, combining their vouchers to cover garbage costs. If this is the case, you need to notify the office all the residents in your group. One person from the group will be the administrator. They will submit the invoices and vouchers for payment. Payment will only be made to the administrator. • You can send your receipts/vouchers to the office anytime throughout the year. They can also be dropped in our secure drop box located to the right of our front doors. Reimbursements will be processed monthly. • Please note that all vouchers for the 2026/27 year MUST be received in this office no later than April 7, 2026. Any vouchers received after April 7th cannot be processed for reimbursement. • We do keep track of all vouchers turned in so feel free to contact me if you lose some of your vouchers and need replacements. • Vouchers issued to one taxpayer CANNOT be passed to another taxpayer unless in an established group. • Clean Up Day: Saturday, June 20, 2026 from 8 AM-12 PM Clean Up Day is a great opportunity to clean up your property and get rid of junk.
