The Byron Recycling Program is completely funded by Burns Township. The township pays to have the gondola delivered on the second Saturday of each month.

Recycling is encouraged for the immediate surrounding areas of Byron. People outside of the Burns Township area are welcome to recycle, however, a monitory donation is requested.

The gondola is located in the parking lot of the Burns Township Hall, 10355 Bath Road. Volunteers are available to help unload from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
