What are the Park Rental Rules? (click for the current list of rental rules)

Grass Clippings and Limbs: Grass clippings and limbs are not to be placed in the garbage receptacles. Our maintenance department will continue to pick up limbs and clippings if they are set out at the edge of the street. Please separate limbs and brush from grass clippings in the summer and from leaves in the fall.

Garbage Pickup: Garbage should be placed by the road by 5:30 a.m. on Thursday mornings. During holiday weeks, the garbage should still be out by 5:30 a.m., but may not be picked up until the next day.  The filled weight of each container should not be more than 100 pounds. Residential service does not include yard waste, hazardous waste, remodeling or construction materials, earth, gravel, concrete or ashes from burn barrels or liquid material. All waste materials must be n garbage bags, no loose trash.

Large Trash Pickup: (see Community Calendar for dates) Place items at the curb by 5:00 a.m. Large items such as furniture, washers, appliances, etc. will be picked up twice annually in April and October on a designated day. If you desire a large item pick-up sooner, these items can be picked up on your regular day of service; however, there would be an extra charge. This charge must be paid in advance to Michiana. We accept Credit or Debit cards or Check-by-phone. Simply call their office at least 24 hours in advance to arrange a pick-up. Refrigeration units such as refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, vending machine, water coolers, motor vehicle air conditioners, etc. must be accompanied by a "Certificate of Refrigeration Removal," that has been authorized by a licensed representative at the time they pick up the unit for disposal. This is a requirement of the Federal Government and Landfill Authority.

    If you are remodeling, roofing building or just cleaning up, Michiana has roll-off containers available ranging in size from 10 cubic yard to 40 cubic yard. For smaller jobs they have 4,6,and 8 cubic yard containers. Please call them for pricing. As a resident of Baroda Township, you will receive a $25 discount for these services. Their phone number is 1-800-722-9710.

Snow Plowing: The Village Maintenance Crew works very hard at keeping the Village streets cleared in the winter. Please be aware that there is no parking allowed on  Village Streets from 3:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m.
