County Recycling Sites

For folks near Thompsonville, there is a recycling site located at the D.P.W. Maintenance Building on CR-669 (Michigan Avenue) just north of Lincoln Road (Lindy Road) in the Village of Thompsonville.  It is well lit and equipped with a security camera. Be sure to never leave trash or construction material in a bin or on the ground — this is considered illegal dumping and violators will be prosecuted.

Note that 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
