Frequently Asked Questions

Tree and brush control:

Williams Township Public Works will trim trees and brush along Township Roads as part of an effort to maintain a safe overhead and roadside clearance to avoid damage to all vehicles, equipment, and buses. This also opens up sight distances around curves and intersections to increase sign recognition and motorist safety. We roadside cut from June through September. Tree trimming is done in the fall after the leaves are off the trees.

Please be aware that this is a service we extend to our residents. The responsibility to maintain roadside weeds and trees are the property owners. We will get around to all Township roads as time permits. Please be patient.

If you keep roadside flowers or bushes, keep them at least (2) feet off of the road edge and low enough for people in vehicles to see over them. If you maintain them yourself, Public Works will not have to do it.


Street Sweeping:

We will begin to remove all anti-skid material from the roads when we believe the winter weather is over. We will utilize a combination of our own equipment and a sweeper truck rental to remove materials as necessary.

Please do not sweep the material into piles or leave garbage and recycling cans in the roadway. This will result in a poor job and we will not return to sweep again when we are done. We will get around to all Township roads as time permits. Please be patient.


White goods:

White goods are picked up from Township residents the second full week of May every year. White goods consist of objects made of a majority of recyclable metal. Appliances, lawn tractors, small equipment, scrap metal, fencing, etc. No electronics, furniture, propane tanks, gas tanks, appliances made of plastics (like plastic dishwashers), etc. will be picked up. We only pick up recyclables at the roadside and will not enter a home or garage for pick up. Non-recyclables will be left at the roadside and will be the responsibility of the property owner to dispose of properly.


Christmas tree drop off:

Residents may bring their Christmas trees to the old Public Works building at 2300 Morgan Hill Road and place it in the provided dumpster for recycling. This will be available after the Christmas Holiday until the middle of January.


Recycling:

We offer a recycling center to all residents, open (24) hours per day, (365) days per year. Recyclable materials include plastic bottles labeled HDPE 1 or 2, tin cans, aluminum cans, cardboard and other paper products. Glass bottles are accepted the second Saturday of every month only, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is the only time glass is accepted! Please put all recyclables in the appropriate containers and do not mix your recyclables. We will not sort them for you! They will be thrown out! Please keep this sight free of garbage. This sight has been shut down previously for illegal dumping of non-recyclables. Violators will be prosecuted!
