April 1, 2023 - March 31, 2024 Mastodon Township is pleased to announce that we are continuing the value of our garbage program of $250 per year reimbursement. Each family gets ten $25 vouchers to cover your costs. Waste Management pricing is $6.00 for recycling and a minimum of $42.00 for waste garbage. Since there are several levels of service from Green For Life Environmental (GFL), you may have to call to get current charges. Fuel charges have gone up. Contact them at (906) 774-9006, ext. 1, for more information. The following is for your information: • The vouchers will cover services that fall from 4/1/23 through 3/31/24. • Garbage and recycling must be disposed at a local vendor – GFL, WM, 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 WM or 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 me of all the residents in your group. One person from the group will be the administrator. They will submit the invoices and vouchers to me for payment. Payment will only be made to the administrator. • You can send your receipts/vouchers to me 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 2023/24 year MUST be received in this office no later than April 10, 2024. • I do keep track of all vouchers turned in so feel free to contact me if you lose some of your vouchers and need replacements. • Spring and Fall Cleanup. Mastodon Township also offers a spring and fall cleanup program for larger garbage items. The dates and parameters of these cleanup days will be posted on the Township’s website and will be emailed to everyone who has submitted their email address to us. o 2023 Spring Clean Up is May 20, 2023. • Lake Mary Residents: If you are part of the dumpster membership and want to be reimbursed for your dumpster payment, send your vouchers to Joanne Burns along with your payment. Once she receives payment from everyone in the dumpster membership, she will submit her list to me for reimbursement to each of you. **Important Note: Please make sure your name is submitted – on the envelope or voucher. We have had vouchers dropped in the mailbox or our drop box with no name. I could not reimburse because I did not know who submitted them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have regarding the garbage program. The office number is 906-875-6232.
