The Big Red Barrel will be on site
Do you have expired or unused medication sitting around at home? Needles and syringes that you need to get rid of? Bring it with you and dispose of it the proper way.
More details and other locations can be found at: Click here: The Big Red Barrel
Household Battery Disposal
Do you have old/used household batteries to get rid of? Bring them with you and dispose of them the proper way, not in the trash. Also, starting April 1, you can drop household batteries off at Brighton Township Hall in our battery bucket located in the Lobby.
ALKALINE – household batteries contain heavy metals that can be harmful to the environment if disposed of in a landfill or incinerator.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity will be on site to gather items that are still in good condition to later be sold at their storefront location here in the Brighton Area. Keep good items out of the landfill to raise money to help the community.
Habitat is limited on what it can accept (i.e., household furniture, home decor, tools, etc.), and will be looking for what it needs as it’s unloaded and then move it to their box truck.
Call Tracy Smith at Habitat for Humanity at (810) 220-9986, ext. 116, for any questions related to this subject only.
