Bellevue Recycling - Compost - Garbage
Recycling Site
Bellevue Township, City of Olivet, Village of Bellevue, and Walton
Township, with the assistance of the Eaton County Resource
Recovery Department, partnered beginning in 2009 to provide our
residents an opportunity to recycle closer to home. This
cooperative effort has been established to provide our community
members with a requested "green" service that will benefit current
and future generations.
The recycling drop off site is located on the south side of
Butterfield Hwy just west of the City of Olivet. Butterfield Hwy
is the road that runs between Bellevue and Olivet and is also
known as M-78 between the Village of Bellevue and I-69.
The site has scheduled hours and is staffed. We ask your
cooperation in following all rules and direction given by site
staff. Site hours and the recyclable material the site accepts are
listed in the flier at the following link Click for PDF
Compost Site
The Department of Public Works (DPW) maintains a Village compost site located on S. Williams St that shares an entrance with Keehne Environmental Center. It is for Village residents only. The site accepts leaves, grass clippings, and brush. The piles are clearly marked as to what belongs where so make sure you are dropping off only acceptable items in the appropriate place. Community members are welcome to take as much compost as they need. Availability is on a first come first serve basis.
Spring Clean Up Event Flyer
The Village of Bellevue and Bellevue Township work together to
hold a Community Spring Clean-Up Day, scheduled in late
April/early May. The date is set on an annual basis and posted in
Village newsletters and local newspapers, as well as flyers being
distributed throughout the community. The events hours are 8:00
a.m. until noon. It is held at the compost site.
This event is held to assist homeowners in cleaning up their
properties after the winter months. It accepts several types of
materials such as Rubbish & Junk, Scrap Metal, Paper, Recyclables
and sometimes Tires.
Village Leaf Pick Up Program
The Village Leaf Pick up is a community wide program that takes
place in late fall when the leaves are falling and down. The pick
up is a service the Village offers. The program was put into place
when a no burning ordinance took effect. The ordinance combined
with the pick up program has made a substantial improvement in the
air quality within the Village in late fall.
