Our office has received many calls from residents asking why their yard waste has not been picked up on Wednesdays, as the calendar handed out states. We have reached out to our Republic Municipal Service Manager about this and he has responded saying:
"Under normal circumstances Wednesday would be the only day that we are servicing yard waste in Hampton Township. Unfortunately, right now we’re dealing with a major labor shortage due to COVID and other factors. All we can do is ask the residents to please be patient as we work through this as we will get the material recovered. Unfortunately, we are in unprecedented times and it will take some time to get things back to normal. Thanks for your patience and I will keep you guys updated. Also, this weeks yard waste pick up will be completed tomorrow, Friday."
Some Hampton Township residents have called the Republic Services Customer Service Department and haven't been able to get their problems resolved. Our Municipal Manager advised that he will be working with the call center to help them assist our township callers. Please make sure that you let them know you are from Hampton Township in Michigan.
If you put your yard waste in barrels, please make sure you clearly label them
"YARD WASTE" so the driver knows what is in the containers and that they do not exceed 50 lbs.
Hampton Township has ordered "YARD WASTE" stickers that should be available soon for pick up at our Township office. You can call 989-893-7541 between 9am and 3pm to make sure the stickers are available.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during these trying times.
