FOREST TOWNSHIP TRASH RULES

1. Use the recycle bins – all clean cardboard must be recycled.  Follow the posted recycle rules.  Place unbroken fluorescent bulbs in labeled recycle container.  Recycling saves the township thousands of dollars every year and is the environmentally sound thing to do.
2. Put only bagged household garbage in dumpsters.  Close and secure the lids to keep bears out.   Fill dumpsters completely (front and back lids) in order starting from the east
3. Take all other trash to transfer stations – Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids or Elbow Lake.
4. No appliances, TVs, microwaves, electronic equipment, furniture, building materials, steel, etc – take these items to transfer stations or hold at your property for Township Amnesty Days.
5. No animal carcasses, dirt, gravel, leaves, grass clippings, brush or logs – put in woods out of sight from roads and trails.
6. No ashes or charcoal
7. No treated lumber – take to transfer station (do not burn).
8. No commercial operation dumping except household trash – hire commercial service if you are operating commercially from your home.
9. Obtain a key from Ray Vlasak to gain access to the area.  You are responsible for everyone who uses your key – be sure they know the rules.  Lock the gate when leaving or close the gate if the lock is not present.
