Summary

By April 1991 the Beaver Island Transfer Station and Recycle Center was in operation and the dump was closed. The Beacon published spring hours and rules for bagged waste, recycling, composting, special materials, and waste-oil disposal.

Evidence limits

This is an operational public notice, not a facility permit, waste-volume ledger, environmental investigation, or proof that every listed rule was consistently enforced.

Sources

  1. States that the Transfer Station and Recycle Center is operating and the dump is closed; gives its East Side Drive location, spring hours, green-bag and recycling rules, $1 tipping fee, composting and special-handling guidance, monthly meeting schedule, and a report of a 6–8 gallon used-oil spill near Gull Harbor. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
