MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WLUC) — The Marquette Township Board met to discuss issues regarding garbage and curbside containers.

The Township provides garbage and recycling carts to residential customers who pay a garbage bill. However, inventory for these carts has run out. The board discussed purchasing 100 garbage carts and 100 recycling carts from Cascade Engineering.

Marquette Township Manager Jon Kangas says these containers are needed with a new residential development happening in Marquette Township.

“We have a 48-unit development starting up full speed ahead right across the highway. We know it’s coming and we’re going to need half of the carts that we’re ordering just for one development,” Kangas said. “So, the other half is to replenish our inventory because we ran out.”

The next board meeting will be held Aug. 19 at 5:30 p.m.
