Help keep our township clean and protect our environment.  Removing recyclables from our waste reduces amounts going to landfills and is less expensive than land filling.  It takes 95% less energy to make an aluminum can from recycled aluminum than from virgin bauxite ore.  Recycling an aluminum can saves six ounces of gasoline!  Recycling a three foot stack of newspapers saves a forty foot tree!

Corinna Township provides residence pickup service on the last Saturday morning of each month for residents north of County Road 39.  On Friday morning, curbside pickup is done south of County Road 39.
