Key Card Access

The installation of the gated entry system for the site has taken place. The site now requires a key card issued by the Township. Only one key card per residential household in the unincorporated area of the Township will be issued. In order to obtain a key card, residents may register on-line by clicking on the link below and following the onscreen prompts. A credit card and email address are required to complete registration successfully. The Board of Trustees have established a nominal annual fee for the key card as follows:

Cards will be available for pick up two business days after registration. Key cards can be picked up in person at the Plain Township Administration Building between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You must bring your license with you to pick up your card to prove residency in the township. To access the Yard Debris Waste Site a key card is required beginning in the Spring with the date to be determined.

Residents who do not have access to a computer, may use a computer terminal at the Plain Township Administration Office to register. This service is available between 8 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. A credit card and email address are necessary to register on-line when using this terminal.

When you purchase a yard waste card you will keep that same card. (please do not lose your card) If for any reason you need to purchase another card, your old card will be deactivated and a new one will be issued, at the cost of $15. Your yard waste card subscription will automatically renew annually at the cost of $25. If you need to update your credit card information or have any questions, please call our office at 330-492-4689.
