• Albion is a single-hauler city, and the city publishes the governing documents itself. The Single Hauler Refuse page on the City of Albion site, with City Hall given as 112 West Cass Street, Albion, MI 49224, collects the Solid Waste Collection Services flyer, a Blue Bag Recycling flyer, the refuse code language, Ordinance No. 2016-02, the Granger contract and a Single Hauler History and Overview. The contract file is named "2020 Granger Contract signed.pdf," identifying Granger Waste Services as the hauler and 2020 as the contract date, which matches the hauler flyer the city publishes alongside it. The page itself sets out no rates, no bulk item terms and no eligibility rules - it is an index to the documents rather than a service page. The city clerk's office is given as (517) 629-5535.
