Storm Debris Cleanup

Jamestown Charter Township does not offer any yard waste pickup.

After a heavy storm, the Ottawa County Road Commission works hard to make sure the roads in Ottawa County are free from trees and debris. They would appreciate that residents NOT drag branches, brush and fallen trees from personal property onto the shoulder of the road. They can only remove trees that are verified to have fallen from within the road right-of-way.

We have verified that I.B. Compost, 10501 Fillmore Street in Zeeland, accepts downed trees/limbs/branches for a fee. Phone: 616-895-6743

Electronics Disposal and Recycling

Advanced Technology Recycling of Grand Rapids offers a free, secure and environmentally sound method of disposing of certain electronics, otherwise known as “e-waste” through 9/30/18. Click HERE for more info.
