Public Works

The Public Works Department consists of a crew who work to ensure the safety of Township residents. The Department is responsible for the repair, maintenance and snow removal of Township roads. The crew also maintains our local parks and open space. They participate in joint purchasing agreements that purchase vehicles and equipment at a competitive cost. The crew stabilizes environmentally sensitive dirt and gravel roads in the remaining rural areas of the Township.

Composting:  Recycling the Natural Way
One of the townships greatest natural resources - an abundance of trees - is a source of frustration for many residents. The most frequent question the township receives each fall is: "What can I do with all these leaves?"

Since the township does not provide leaf collection, your most efficient and environmentally friendly way to deal with all those leaves - and other organic waste material - is to establish a backyard compost pile. Not only does it solve your disposal problem, it also provides you with a free, nutrient-rich material that can be used as a soil amendment or as a medium to grow plants.

Mature compost is a stable material with a content called humus that is dark brown or black and has a soil-like, earthy smell. It is created by combining organic wastes (e.g., yard trimmings, food wastes, manures) in proper ratios into piles, rows, or vessels and then adding bulking agents (e.g., wood chips) as necessary to accelerate the breakdown of organic materials. The final step is to allow the finished material to fully stabilize and mature through a curing process. For more information about composting visit "Guide to Home Composting"
