Tote Lids 

Lids are currently not being made by the manufacturer. Lids are available for the new larger curbside recycling totes (the longer ones with four handles molded into the rim, as opposed to the older ones which are more square and have just two handles).

Lids are currently FREE while supplies last—thanks to some help from the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation—and are available at:

The Department of Public Works Office in the County Building (downtown Petoskey)
200 Division Street, Suite G-76, Petoskey
Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays

The Drop-off Center
7363 Pleasantview Road, Harbor Springs
Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays / 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturdays

Fill out the form below or call us at 348-0640 to request a cart or totes.
