To all Skandia Township residents,

Skandia Township has been subsidizing the costs of operating the Transfer Facility
for several years, at the expense of other services/projects withing the township.
However, due to the implementation of a PFAS leachate treatment facility at the
Marquette County Landfill, which was required by the State, and the constant
rising costs in tipping fees, Skandia Township is forced to raise the cost of the
Transfer Facility User Fees.

Beginning July 2024, the cost of the garbage tickets will be $100.00 every six (6)
months. This averages out to under $17.00 per month/$4.25 per week. Still a very
decent price for the use of such a convenient and nice facility.

For those of you that are pre-paid for the July-December billing months, you will
be receiving a bill in the mail for the balance due. The cards for that time frame
will be null and void and a new colored card will be issued to all customers upon
payment.

We will be holding a Public Meeting regarding the Transfer Facility on:

June 11, 2024 at 7pm
Skandia Township Hall

We ask that you consider attending this meeting and bring some fresh ideas as we
explore all options for our Township residents. Some of which are:

* Keeping things as is, with residents paying the higher rate
* Contracting with a refuse hauling company for curbside pick up of garbage
and recycling, to be paid for by residents
* Moving to a scale system, with residents paying by weight

So again, please consider coming to the meeting, we encourage community input.

Sincerely,

Skandia Township Board
