Woodland committee to propose new Saturday transfer‑station hours starting June 1
Summary
At a Woodland Township workshop on April 22, committee members agreed to propose opening the municipal transfer station every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting June 1; a formal motion will be taken at the regular meeting and the change will be publicized.
Members of the Woodland Township Committee discussed extending Saturday hours at the municipal transfer station during a workshop meeting on April 22 and agreed to advance a plan to the regular meeting proposing Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting June 1.
The committee took up a written request from a resident asking for later Saturday hours so those who work weekends could use the facility. The Clerk noted that the facility operator, Donnie, indicated he would be willing to work a later schedule. “So June 1 will start 10AM to 6PM,” the Clerk said, and the committee agreed to make the proposal at the upcoming regular meeting rather than finalize it at the workshop.
Committee members discussed alternate hour windows (9 a.m.–5 p.m., 11 a.m.–7 p.m.) and raised safety and staffing concerns. The Chair and others flagged winter darkness at the site and the lack of lighting as reasons to consider seasonal adjustments. The Chair suggested returning to earlier hours when daylight shortens; members discussed tying the schedule to daylight‑saving time but did not set a fixed reversion date during the workshop.
The committee also agreed to publicize the proposed change in advance, including posting information on the township website and creating flyers. One member suggested having a staff person distribute flyers on site.
Next steps: the committee will present a formal motion to adopt the new Saturday hours at its regular meeting; if approved there, staff will post notice and distribute flyers announcing the change.
