M-14 CLOSURE Please see the attached flyer about the closure of M-14 beginning Friday, March 5, 2016 at 9 PM. The Michigan Department of Transportation is repairing the road/bridges between the Barton Drive and Miller/Maple Road exits and no traffic will be allowed to use that section of the expressway. From the BHV Lower Gate traffic will be able to use the Barton Drive entrance to go east on M-14 but will not be able to use the westbound ramp to go towards Maple Road or into Ann Arbor on Main Street. Traffic on westbound M-14 can exit at Whitmore Lake Road or Main Street but there will be lane switches during construction that prevent the use of the westbound entrance ramp from Whitmore Lake Road. Eastbound traffic from I-94 will have to exit at Maple/Miller.

RECYCLING BHV contracts with Recycle Ann Arbor for the green recycling bin in the BHV maintenance area. Since the cost to rent that bin recently went up, please help to make best use of it:
—Do not put corrugated cardboard in the green bin. BHV bales/sells this cardboard directly so leave corrugated cardboard next to regular trash at home for pick up on trash collection days, or leave it by the side of the building next to the green bin where the BHV staff will take care of it. For a special home pick up of a quantity of boxes, phone Supt. Esch (368-7874) or the Village Hall (222-5209).
—Do not put No. 2 plastics (milk jugs, water jugs, detergent bottles, etc) in the green bin. Put them in the wire bins near the green bin, as they are also baled separately.
–Use the blue HHW bin at home to put household hazardous waste items next to regular trash for pick up on trash collection days (first, third and fifth Mondays of the month).
–Make sure all recyclables are clean (no food!) with lids removed.
For more information and any recycling questions, call Supt. Esch or the Village Hall.
