SALEM TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT
Salem Township Fire Department wants to remind everyone to stay safe this winter and holiday season. If you haven’t already done so, change the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. If your smoke alarms are over 10 years old, they should be changed out with new ones. Contact us for Smoke Alarm Program information at 616-896-8715 or email captain@salemtownship.org.
The department would also like to say thank you to the community for the support we receive. We don’t always get to meet the community members on the best of days, but one thing that we do get to see is community members helping each other. Whether it is before we arrive or the days that follow, this community comes together in a way that makes it one of the best townships to live in.
Have a safe and happy Holidays
REPUBLIC SERVICE CURBSIDE RECYCLING
Pickup is the 4th Wednesday of each month. It is recommended that the carts be set out the night before as pickup times can vary month to month. In the event of a major holiday falling on the week of our recycle pickup, the pickup will be Thursday instead.
Private drives and seasonal roads (unpaved) will not get pick up in front of their house. You will need to put recycle bin at your nearest crossroad.
A 96 gallon recycle cart is available free of charge from Republic Services.
How to lease a cart: Contact Kathy VanderKolk at Salem Township at 616-896-9857 or at secretary@salemtownship.org
