A VERY common cause of sewer backups in
Delhi Charter Township is pipes blocked by grease. Sewer backups
and overflows can damage home interiors, cause health hazards,
and threaten the environment. No one wants to experience a
backup but everyone can help. For household cooking greases and
oils remember:
Store it… Don’t Pour it!

FREE grease container and turn in your grease to be recycled!
Thermometer
Exchange
Exchange your
mercury-containing thermometer

Delhi
Township cares about you and your future!
Mercury has been recognized as one of the primary pollutants of
concern for Michigan. In fact, mercury contamination has resulted in
the Michigan Department of Community Health issuing state-wide fish
consumption advisories.
Digital thermometers are available at
the Delhi Wastewater Treatment Plant, Fire Department, Parks and
Recreation Department and the Treasurer's Department.
Please bring your mercury-containing
thermometer in sealed double-bagged "ziploc" type plastic bags and ask
to exchange it. You will be given a digital thermometer. That’s it – a
pretty easy way to help your environment! If you have any questions
please call 699-3873.

Latex Paint
Disposal Hints
|
 |
Latex paint can be thrown in
the regular trash, but it must be SOLID. To solidify
latex paint, you must: |
-
remove
the lid
-
add
enough cat litter to the paint to absorb all of the
liquid
-
make sure
the cat litter is mixed down to the bottom of the can
-
leave the
lid off, place the paint can in a sunny location, out of
the reach of children and pets, and let it sit until it
hardens
-
once the
paint/cat litter mixture is hard, it can be thrown in
the trash
If you have a full can of
paint, simply take a box and line it with a trash bag.
Solidify half the paint with cat litter in the box and
solidify the remaining paint with cat litter right in the
can, following the directions above. |
