Thirteen locations across Emmet County
(231) 348-0640
Twelve of the thirteen sites are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Emmet County maintains a network of thirteen unstaffed recycling drop-off points spread across the county, twelve of which stay open around the clock every day of the year. They take standard household recyclables and are the easiest option for a seasonal resident closing up a cottage at an odd hour. One note before you drive: the downtown Petoskey site is closed, and the county has said it is looking for a replacement location in Petoskey. These sites handle recyclables only. Construction debris, furniture, and general household trash from a cleanout need either the Harbor Springs transfer station or a roll-off dumpster.

Alanson Dumpster Placement & Permit Requirements
A dumpster rental on a private driveway or lot in Alanson generally needs no permit, covering most residential jobs in the village and Littlefield Township. Public-ground placement does require approval. US-31 (Burr Avenue) and M-68 (Chicago Street) are MDOT-maintained, so right-of-way placement there goes through MDOT. For local village streets, contact the Village of Alanson at (231) 548-5431. Calling before delivery helps avoid issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
A 20-yard roll-off handles most full cottage cleanouts, including furniture, mattresses, carpet, and years of stored items from a basement or boathouse. If you are clearing one room or a single porch, a 10-yard is enough. For a whole-house emptying ahead of a sale, ask about a 30-yard. We would rather size it right the first time than send a second truck.
Next-day delivery is typical, and same-day is often possible when you call early. Alanson sits on US-31, so our trucks reach the village easily year round. Winter delivery is fine as long as the drop spot is plowed and we can back in safely.
Not for a container on your own driveway or private property, which covers most jobs. If the dumpster has to sit in the street or the road shoulder, permission is required. On US-31 (Burr Avenue) and M-68 the approving agency is the Michigan Department of Transportation, since both are state trunklines. For other village streets, call the Village of Alanson office at (231) 548-5431 first.
General household junk, furniture, carpet, drywall, lumber, roofing shingles, siding, and yard debris all go in. Kept out are liquids, paint, oil, fuel, batteries, tires, refrigerant appliances, and electronics. Several of those are accepted at the Emmet County transfer station in Harbor Springs, some free and some for a posted fee.
Yes, and a 10-yard is usually the right call. Shingles are heavy, so a small box filled to the line often weighs more than a large box of household debris. Tell us the roof size and layer count when you book and we will match the container and the weight allowance to the job.
The Emmet County Transfer Station and Recycling Drop-Off Center at 7363 S Pleasantview Rd in Harbor Springs takes material by the load, open weekdays 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturdays 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The county also runs thirteen recycling drop-off sites, twelve of them open 24 hours a day. Those sites are for recyclables only, not cleanout debris.
Yes. Our Alanson service area covers all of Littlefield Township and the properties around Crooked Lake, Pickerel Lake, and the Crooked River, along with Pellston, Conway, Oden, and Petoskey. Seasonal and lakefront addresses are routine for us, including driveways that need a careful approach.
A standard rental runs 7 to 14 days, which suits most projects. If a contractor schedule slips or the weather turns, call and we will extend it. Alanson is a village of about 780 people in Emmet County, and much of the work here runs on a seasonal calendar, so we build flexibility into the rental period rather than charging for a rush.
