Martin Township’s annual Trash Pick-up Day will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 20.
The event will take place in the downtown area, and there will be dumpsters provided by CDR, which Wednesday night was awarded by the Township Board the low bid of $2,325 for hauling away up two seven tons of waste.
