The Detroit River International
Wildlife Refuge is located along the
lower Detroit River and western
shoreline of Lake Erie. The refuge,
part of the National Wildlife Refuge
System and managed by the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service, is one of
over 540 national wildlife refuges.
The Detroit River IWR was
established in 2001 as the first
International Wildlife Refuge in
North America. The authorized
refuge boundary includes islands,
coastal wetlands, marshes, shoals,
and waterfront lands along 48 miles
of shoreline. Its location is unique,
situated in a major metropolitan
area.
The refuge obtained the Humbug
Complex, made up of Humbug
Island, Humbug Marsh, and adjacent undeveloped upland habitats,
in 2004. It includes 410 acres of
unique fish and wildlife habitats in
Trenton and Gibraltar, Michigan.
Humbug Marsh represents the
last mile of natural shoreline on
the U.S. mainland of the Detroit
River. Over 97% of such coastal
wetlands in the river have been lost
to shoreline development and 90%
of such coastal wetlands in western
Lake Erie have disappeared during
the past 50 years. Because they
are home to such a high diversity
of fish and wildlife, such marshes
have been identified by The Nature
Conservancy as globally unique
and globally significant in biological
diversity - nothing like this marsh
exists anywhere outside the Great
Lakes.
The refuge now manages over
5,000 acres and works with public
and private organizations to conserve land for the benefit of people
and wildlife. For more information

Wildlife Refuge, visit www.fws.gov/

Storm Water Runoff Pollution and what
YOU can do to stop it!
Before you pour anything into the street or down the
storm drains, stop and think! Storm Drains go directly
into creeks and through wetlands into the Detroit River
and the Great Lakes.
You may not know...
Anything we use in our home, car and business like motor
oil, paint, pesticides, fertilizers and cleaners can accidentally wind up in the street. A little water from rain or a
garden hose can carry automotive and household materials through the storm drain polluting rivers, wetlands and
the Great Lakes. Storm drains are there to drain water
off the streets and yards-not for disposal of hazardous
materials.

Where does it go?
These pollutants within our watershed flow with storm
water through the sewer system into creeks, drains and
outfall into the Trenton Channel and Lake Erie. This
type of pollution is called Storm Water Runoff Pollution

What is Storm Water Runoff Pollution?
Storm water runoff refers to seasonal rainfall flows and
snowmelts in the spring. It is very noticeable during a
heavy rain storm when large volumes of water drain off
paved areas. Runoff pollution can happen anytime of the
year when excessive water use from irrigation, car washing
and other sources carries trash, lawn clippings and other
urban pollutants into storm drains.
How is it different from other forms of
water pollution?
Storm Water Runoff Pollution can include anything that
washes into the storm drain from the community. Unlike
water pollution linked to factories or sewage treatment
plants; this type can come from city streets, neighborhoods, farms, construction sites and parking lots.

tions. Do not apply before rain and
dispose leftovers at a hazardous

fertilizers that are phosphorus-free
for regular use. Use of a pH test to
determine the appropriate level of
phosphorus application, if any, is
recommended.
Use a broom rather than a hose to
clean up garden clippings. Put leaves
and clippings in a yard waste receptacle or a compost pile.

know that dumping one quart of motor oil down a storm drain contaminates 250,000 gallons of water?
Have your car maintained regularly to
prevent oil, antifreeze and fluid leaks.
Reduce automotive emissions through
routine auto maintenance, ride sharing
and public transportation.
Conserve water when washing your
ronment. It is not ours to use as
we wish, but for us to use for the
benefit of all, including generations
to come. Maintenance and the improvement of our waterways is the
responsibility of everyone so that
our impact does not cause harm for
the future.
Since many businesses and residents
are unaware of the storm water runoff problem, encourage neighbors
and co-workers to be careful in not
polluting the storm drain system.
Everyone needs to participate in

Regular cleaning & repairs as well as
upgrades when needed are required
to keep the system functioning
properly and reduce the amount of
sedimentation and pollution entering the waterways.
We have a Certificate of Coverage
under a jurisdictional permit for
separated storm water municipal
discharge from the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES). Also, the City has a
Storm Water Phase II permit from
the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment
(DNRE). As such, we are required
to educate the public about our
watershed, storm water runoff and
where storm water and pollutants
ultimately discharge into the lake
system. A Public Education Program (PEP) has been put into effect
in order to achieve these goals.
Report Pollution
Now that you have a better understanding of where pollution comes from and
what causes it, you can help to reduce
pollution by reporting problem areas.
The sooner these problems are reported
the sooner they can be eliminated and
reduce impact to the environment. Contact Trenton Engineering at 675-8251 to
ask questions, or to report pollution.

Transfer Station Recycling
Drop-off Center
The City’s Transfer Station at 1801 Van Horn Rd. is
available free of charge for Trenton residents who wish
to dispose of residential rubbish only. Yard waste,
newsprint, plastic containers (#1-7 acceptable), glass, tin,
aluminum cans, empty paint and aerosol cans, and used
motor oil will be accepted for recycling. Trenton businesses, apartment owners and Trenton contractors may
use the Transfer Station but will be assessed a charge of
$35 per cubic yard with a $75 minimum charge. Proof
of residency is required. Please note that refrigerators,
freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and tires cannot
be disposed of by residents at the Transfer Station. Call
for a special pick-up to dispose of these items. It is a
violation of ordinance 74-49 to allow a non-resident
to gain access to the Transfer Station using a resident’s
identification. This violation causes a tax burden for all
Trenton residents. The Transfer Station is open Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Call 675-8470.
Yard Waste Recycling
Curbside collection of yard waste begins in Mid-April
and continues to Thanksgiving, depending on weather.
State & Federal regulations prohibit disposal of yard
waste in regular trash. Curbside pickup of yard waste
on your trash day will only be available by utilizing the
“Yard Waste” carts that may be purchased at the D.P.S.
office for $75.00 (Cash or check). Neighbors may consider sharing a yard waste cart.
Refrigerant Removal
A $45 recycling sticker must be purchased from D.P.S. to
dispose of any refrigerant charged appliance including
refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Once this sticker is placed on the appliance it will
be scheduled for pick-up. These appliances cannot be
accepted at transfer station.

Automated Trash Collection
Trenton has modernized residential trash collection. Each residence was provided one
(1) brown 95 gallon trash cart for household trash. Additional carts can be purchased
at the D.P.S. office(1431 West Rd.) for $75.00 cash or check. Containers are identified
with a serial number that is recorded as assigned to the residence.
Residential Rubbish Collection Rules
Set household rubbish at the curb (front pickup) in 95 gallon carts or at the edge of
the alley (rear pickup) at sundown on the eve of the collection day or before 7 a.m. on
the scheduled day. Remove containers the same day according to City Municipal Code
(Art. II Sec.74-39)
• Use only city issued 95 gallon trash carts. Refuse containers shall be adequate in
number for the dwelling, not overfilled and tightly covered when not in use.
• On-board cameras-DVR record packer movements and the cart loading operation.
• Garbage should be wrapped in newspaper or placed in garbage bags to prevent
refuse from freezing to carts in cold weather, keeping carts cleaner.
• Yard waste must be separate from household rubbish. (see yard waste recycling)
• The occupant/property owner may be held responsible for litter existing on property in the City. Rubbish cannot be picked up on private property.
• On collection day, please keep vehicles off the road especially on courts.
• Paint cans and used oil cannot be collected with regular rubbish. Please take these
items to the recycling drop-off center. Unused latex paint may be allowed to
harden by removing the lid and adding kitty litter or dry sand.
• For the health and safety of all, do not dispose of needles or sharps in regular
trash. They can be dropped off at the fire stations in designated containers.
Holiday Rubbish Collection
Your rubbish will be collected one day later than normal and into Saturday of the holiday week as necessary. The affected holidays include New Year’s Day, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day. Normal rubbish
collection will take place on President’s Day and Veteran’s Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve if these holidays fall on a regularly scheduled
pick-up day.
Special/Loader Pick-up
Bulky items too large or too heavy to be placed in a trash cart, require a special pick-up
request. Please locate special pickups away from overhead obstructions such as wires,
trees, etc. Debris that must be collected with a front loader such as concrete, dirt,
bricks, sod or loose leaves will be picked up at a cost of $35 per cubic yard with a $35
minimum charge. Pickup schedules may vary, call 675-5496.
Brush & Leaf Collection
Thursday is city-wide brush collection day. Please separate brush from other debris and locate it away from overhead obstructions such as wires, trees, etc. Smaller
quantities of brush and leaves can be included with your regular “Yard Waste” collection. Curbside leaf collection begins in October and ends in mid-December, weather
permitting. Leaves collected at other times will result in a loader pick-up fee of $35 per
cubic yard. Call 675-5496.

Get back to nature in Trenton Parks
There’s nothing better than the great outdoors and Trenton offers
plenty of opportunitites to enjoy all the healthy benefits of outdoor
recreation. From the large community parks to the neighborhood tot

it’s taking a hike in the woods, riding a bike along a trail, playing on
a playground, fishing along the banks of the river, snowshoeing in
the winter, or picnicing in a park, there’s no limit to the fun you can
have. So what are you waiting for? The time is now to seek out
healthy, active outdoor lives and embrace our public parks, refuges
and water. Best of all, it’s free!
