SPRING CLEAN UP:  The city no longer conducts a curbside pickup of items; however, if you are elderly, disabled or otherwise in need of assistance in having spring clean up items removed, you can call the Department of Public Works at 475-9991 and arrangements will be made.

REFUSE DROP OFF & COMPOST SITE:  Great American Disposal (GAD) provides a refuse drop off site for City of Negaunee residential garbage customers to dispose of spring clean up items.  This service is provided on the second Thursday of each month from 12:00pm to 6:00pm.  The regular drop off site is located at the end of Lincoln Street.

Photo identification and a current Negaunee utility bill showing the garbage collection fees will be required to dispose of materials at this site.  Quantities are limited to one pick-up load per month, with a maximum of four loads per household per calendar year.

Compost Dump

The City of Negaunee's compost site is located on County Road 480 across from the Wastewater Treatment Plant.   Call 475-9991 to inquire about hours of operation.  Please note that the site may be closed during inclement weather.

The compost site will accept grass clippings, sod and garden debris, brush, and tree limbs up to 12" in diameter.  Bags must be emptied and placed in the trash cans provided.

Dumping of compost materials by the entrance gate is prohibited.  Individuals caught dumping in this area will be fined.

PAYMENT CONFIRMATION: All online/telephone payments will be made known to the City of Negaunee instantaneously.  If you wish, you may converse with customer service staff immediately after making payment.  Call 1-877-318-5779 to do so.

WHY IS THERE A CONVENIENCE FEE AND HOW MUCH IS IT?: There are several low or no-cost means to pay your bill at the City of Negaunee.  These include pre-authorized payment (ACH), writing a check, placing a payment in our drop box, or making payment at any of the following financial institutions: Peninsula Bank, Range Bank or the Superior Iron Range Community Federal Credit Union.  Even so, many customers prefer to pay by credit card. Credit cards companies charge businesses such as Paymentus Corporation a percentage of the payment for processing it.  Therefore, to be fair to all customers, we have to ensure that the users of the credit card service pay for that service.

Utility Bills

The convenience fee is $5.95 for each transaction per $400.00.  Customers may make payments for amounts up to $400.00 in a single transaction; however, for payment amounts larger than $400.00, you will be required to make additional transactions for the remaining amount above $400.00 (also in $400.00 increments if applicable). A $5.95 fee will be applied to each additional transaction.

Tax Payments

The convenience fee for tax bill payments is calculated at 2.75% of the bill amount being paid.

WHAT YOU NEED: You will need the following information to expedite your credit card transaction:

• Your utility account number (on your billing statement). This number will include all of the digits without the dash (-).
• The balance owned on your bill
• Your credit or debit card or check account information

GARBAGE COLLECTION:  For concerns about garbage collection within the City of Negaunee please call 1-800-774-9006.  If you have a billing question, call the Utility Billing Office at 475-7400 Ext 17.

Note: Garbage will be picked up on holidays

MY QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED: If you have any other questions, please give the City Treasurer's Office a call at 475-7700 Extension 16.

• Age 60 years old or older
• Unable to vote without assistance at the polls

WRITE-IN VOTING

To vote for a candidate whose name is not printed on the ballot, write or place the name of that candidate in the blank space provided and completely darken the corresponding oval.

If you choose to cast a vote for a write-in candidate, be sure to follow these rules to ensure your vote is valid:

• Clearly print the name of the candidate you wish to vote for.
• Completely darken the oval next to the name of the candidate whose name you printed.  Just writing the name is not enough.
• Do not use the write-in method for a candidate whose name is already pre-printed on the ballot.

SAMPLE BALLOT

This ballot is not an official ballot and is posted here solely for the purpose of familiarizing citizens with the voting process.  An official ballot for upcoming elections will be available for viewing at City Hall prior to those elections.
