Benzie County is committed to environmental health through recycling opportunities, household hazardous waste and electronic equipment collections, and educational programs. The Recycling Program provides alternatives to residents and businesses to properly dispose of solid waste and keep it out of the landfill whenever possible.

A Recycling Site is located at the DPW Maintenance Building on CR669 (Michigan Avenue) just north of Lincoln (Lindy Road) in the Village of Thompsonville.  It is well lit and equipped with a security camera. Never leave trash or construction material in a bin or on the ground. This is considered illegal dumping and violators will be prosecuted.

There are six additional Recycling Sites throughout Benzie County:

  • Almira Township Park on Ole’ White Road
  • Benzonia at Save-A-Lot Shopping Center on US 31
  • Beulah at Village Municipal Parking Lot
  • Frankfort at 404 Parkview Lane (Industrial Park)
  • Honor at the Homestead Township Hall, 11548 Honor Hwy (US-31)
  • Lake Ann Elementary School on Bronson Lake Road
