Spring Clean-up Flyer
Roadside pick up. We are looking to put together 60 teams of five people each, to adopt
portions of roads for debris and trash pick up. You can adopt Village or county roads in Putnam
Township or the Village. We will provide clean up kits that include five trash bags, trash
grabbers, latex gloves and safety vests. Clean up kits will be available for pick up at the
Township Hall, April 22-26, during regular business hours. They will also be available at 10 a.m.
on Apr. 27.
Roadside pick up. Available in Putnam Township and the Village of Pinckney only. Filled bags
should be left at the side of the road for pick up by our contractor on Mon., April 29. Items
that are too large to fit in the bags should be left next the bags. Bags should be clearly visible
from the road; please only use the bright yellow bags we provide in the clean up kits.
Teams may collect bottles or cans and return for deposit money, using their own, or a yellow
bag that we supply.
Junk removal. If you’d like to do a little spring cleaning of your own, we are placing roll-off
dumpsters at the Putnam Township Hall parking lot. Residents of the Village and Putnam and
Unadilla Townships are welcome to drop off household junk from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. We’ll need
volunteers here too, overseeing the dumpsters, to prevent dumping of prohibited items.
If you’d like to help, please sign up by contacting the Township Hall for more information.
Putnam Township, Village of Pinckney and Unadilla Township residents are
welcome. Prohibited items:
Asbestos Beverage containers with a deposit
Electronics Fluorescent lightbulbs and tubes
