Letter from the Supervisor
Hello Warm Weather! We are all grateful for having warm weather and being able to be outside
again. Here in Redford Township, we have many opportunities to enjoy being outside with our family,
friends and neighbors. There are two county parks, 12 township parks and Glenhurst Golf Course. At
our Community Center we offer a wide range of programs for all ages. This is all thanks to our dedicated
staff, volunteers and organizations involved within our township which is only 11.2 miles in size.
There are opportunities for you to get involved in our community from boards and commissions to volunteering Pat McRae
for events. Just give me a call and we can talk about what your interests are.
I love our community and I think you will to. Enjoy the warm weather, get out, be active and get engaged.
From my family to yours, be safe and let’s build a better Redford.
Redford Township Supervisor, 313-387-2715, pmcrae@redfordtwp.com
Letter from the Superintendent
Greetings Redford Residents, I hope this message finds you and yours safe and well.
I appreciate this opportunity to share the enclosed information regarding township services
and recreational programing for the Spring and Summer of 2021. I do so with hopeful anticipation
of longer, warmer, and brighter days ahead!
2020 was a challenging year, but we made the best of the quiet time by bringing much-needed
improvements to Townhall, and safety precautions to all of our Township facilities. Some of the Diane L. Webb
highlights include; the resurfacing of the Townhall parking lot, the relocation of Assessor’s Office to
the first floor, ADA compliant hallways and restrooms to improve accessibility for the disabled, and fresh
paint, doors, carpet, and desks that help establish the professionalism of our offices and inspire hometown pride. We increased public health
and safety measures by updating our security system, and adding plexiglass
service windows, sanitation stations and social distancing markers to limit the
Table of Contents spread of the COVID-19 virus. The best news is we were able to utilize federal
grant dollars, provided through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and

Because we can run four elections in one year (not a record) citizens could be easily confused that elections are all we do in the Clerk’s Office. To the contrary,
we continue to provide our day to day services during election season, which seems to be year-long. Some of these services include, garage sale permits,
business licenses, notaries, voter registration, absentee ballot applications and general information. Check the directory for your area of concern.

REDFORD TOWNSHIP/GREEN FOR LIFE ENVIRONMENTAL USA
Guidelines for Refuse, Recycling Yard Waste & Large or Bulky Items Collection
The Charter Township of Redford in cooperation with GFL Environmental USA is proud to provide your refuse, recycling, yard waste & large bulky item collections. Please read
these guidelines carefully and keep them handy as they will answer many questions about the various types of collections. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in your
refuse, recycling, yard waste or large/bulky items not being picked up.
A single stream sorting center is used so you do not need to separate your recyclables. See chart below for acceptable items. Additional recycle bins may be purchased from
GFL Environmental (844) 464-3587. **Please rinse/clean/empty items before placing into recycle bin.

• No wax coated boxes needles or syringes, hazardous waste
BRANCHES & SHRUBS. Residents may put at the road on trash day up to four (4) bundles of branches for pickup at one time with yard waste. Branches must be less
than 1½” in diameter, cut into lengths of no more than 4 feet and tied into bundles weighing no more than 45 lbs each. They may also be placed in yard waste bags or cans.
Stumps, logs & root balls are not acceptable. Tree & landscape contractors are responsible for removing all materials as a result of their work.
Have you cleaned the leaves out of your ditch or off the storm drains in your street? The Water & Sewer Department reminds residents that the storm
drains, catch basins and ditches must be kept clean, especially when the trees begin to lose their leaves in the fall. Your assistance in keeping the storm drains and ditches clean will
also prevent flooding of neighborhood streets during heavy rains and snow melt periods. Also, any water that flows into the storm drains and ditches goes thru the storm water system
underneath the Township and then directly (untreated) into the local Rouge River. If you witness an illicit discharge into the storm water system, contact the Wayne County Dept. of
Environment’s 24 hour Hotline at (888) 223-2363 or the Redford Water & Sewer Dept. at (313) 387-2670.
Why do we flush the fire hydrants every fall? As part of an annual maintenance program, the Fire Department flushes fire hydrants in a different section of the
Township every year during the months of September & October (weekdays only). Information on specific areas where flushing will occur will be posted in the “Redford Observer”
newspaper, on Brighthouse Channel 8, WOW Channel 10, AT&T U-verse Channel 99 and the Township website at www.redfordtwp.com. Maintenance is performed to
insure proper pressure at each hydrant and to determine whether a repair may be needed.
Water customers may experience discolored water when your area is being flushed (or during a water main break). During this time period your water service may be affected
even when hydrants are being flushed several blocks away. The discoloration does not affect the water quality and is a result of stirred up sediments in the water mains. It may
take several hours for the stirred up sediments to clear. Do not run your hot water during this time as this will draw the discolored water into your hot water tank and may stain your
clothes if you are doing laundry. Instead, periodically run a cold water faucet at the lowest point in your house for 3-5 minutes. If the water is still discolored, wait 1-2 hours and then
try running the cold water again to see if it is clear. Prolonged problems should be reported to the Water Department by calling (313) 387-2670.
Have you ever noticed water bubbling up out of the ground or running down the street along a curbed area? There may be a water main break,
especially during winter months when pipes in the ground shift because of freeze and thaw cycles. Contact the Water & Sewer Department at (313) 387-2670 M-F 8:30am to 4:30pm
to report a possible main break and its location. After office hours or on the weekends contact the Police Department at (313) 387-2500.
Why is my drinking water sometimes cloudy? At various times of the year we receive calls from residents wanting to know why their water is cloudy when first
taken from a faucet and then clears up. Cloudy water occurs most often in the fall and winter months when the ground temperatures change and water is colder. The cloudiness
is caused by tiny air bubbles in the water similar to the gas bubbles in beer and carbonated soft drinks. If you let the water sit for a while, you will notice that the bubbles rise
to the top and dissipate.
Do you have a vacant home on your block? During the winter months it is possible for water pipes in the vacant home to freeze and burst if water is still on at the home
and it is unheated. Also, a water meter in an unheated area may freeze and burst if it has not been winterized. If you suspect there is a home in your area that is unheated or if you
see water running out a window or door of the home write down the address and call the Water & Sewer Department at (313) 387-2670 M-F 8:30am - 4:30pm or contact the Police
Department after hours or on weekends at (313) 387-2500. In addition, if you have a vacant home where the exterior of the property is not being maintained (high grass, weeds,
debris) report it to the Building & Ordinance Department at (313) 387-2680 or by sending an email to building@redfordtwp.com or SeeClickFix.com. Provide us with the address
of the violation, as well as your name and phone number should we need to contact you for additional information.

2021 YARD WASTE PICKUP: April 5-December 17. Remember yard waste in plastic bags is not allowed and will not be picked up under any circumstance. Bags or
waste cans may not exceed 45 pounds when filled. All waste cans must have 2 handles on the outside & be marked as “yard waste” or “compost” or they will not be
emptied. Straw, hay, apples, logs, tree stumps, dirt, rocks or sod are not acceptable as yard waste. Landscape companies are responsible for disposal of their own
waste. Yard waste pickup each year always begins the first full week of April and runs thru the 2nd Friday of December.
SET OUT TIMES & LIMITS FOR TRASH PICK UP. Set out trash no earlier than 6pm the night before your pickup & no later than 6am the morning of collection for
your area. There is a limit of 12 bags or cans of regular household trash. No limit on amount of yard waste collected thru dates listed above.
LARGE ITEM PICKUP. The Township’s current waste hauling contract with GFL Environmental 844-464-3587 allows residents to place two (2) large items out with
their regular garbage every week for pickup at no charge and no appointment is needed. Examples of types of acceptable items are mattresses, couches, chairs,
tables, dressers, carpet/padding (must be rolled, cut to 3’ width & tied/taped) and other similar items. Appliances may also be set out but anything containing freon
(refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner, dehumidifier) must first have the freon reclaimed by a certified contractor at your own expense & have a certification tag placed
on the appliance. As an alternative, call Wayne County Resource Recovery Coordinator at 734-326-3936.
