Transfer Station Pass
Paw Paw Township offers residents a one-time pass to the Transfer Station each year. The maximum load size per pass is 2 yards (loads over 2 yards will be charged for the additional volume).
Best Way Transfer Station Dump Passes are available for 2025.  These can be picked up in the Treasurer’s Office.  Please be aware the dump passes are for primary residence parcels (PRE) only.  A person’s primary residence, or main residence is the dwelling where you usually live and personally own.  One pass per PRE parcel, per year will be available for a one time pick up.  Once a pass is signed out for that parcel another pass will not be issued.  Thank you for your cooperation.
