Waste Facility
Wood Island Waste Management Inc.
Wood Island Waste Management Inc., E10081 M-28 East, Wetmore, 49895, Michigan
Small, no-frills disposal site off M-28 East that people from Munising and nearby Wetmore use when things don't fit at the curb. A mix of residents and small haulers stop in here; it's the kind of place for weekend cleanups and odd jobs that leave a truck bed full.
There’s a little entrance booth at the gate - pull up to it and be ready to stop before heading into the lot. The site is mostly open gravel with piles, roll-off containers and the usual heavy equipment moving around. Expect to cross a scale and possibly stop again on the way out, so leave a moment for that in your plans. Lines form on busy days, especially on weekends and during spring cleanup.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loads before driving in; loose bags and branches scatter and hold up the line.
- Position the vehicle so backing up to the drop point is easy - it speeds unloading and avoids blocking traffic.
- Bring a photo ID or something that shows local residency in case it's requested, and plan for possible wait times on weekend mornings.
