The Orion Township Board has approved a contract with Oakland Township and Onyx Environmental to hold a Household Hazardous Waste Day at Eagle Valley Recycling and Disposal Facility on May 22.
The event will run 9 a.m.-2 p.m., with a cost of $57 per vehicle for the township for the collection of hazardous waste items (latex paint will not be accepted). A $10 donation will be charged per car, except for residents wishing to dispose of electronic equipment, who will be asked for a $20 donation.
The township will be charged $75 for those cars with electronic equipment for disposal. The board voted March 1 to authorize a budget adjustment of $4,500 (increasing the event’s total budget to $17,000) from the general capital improvement fund, for the collection of electronic equipment.
