Garlic mustard dumpsters are no longer available for the 2021 season. They will return in May 2o22. That being said, the dumpster at the Boardman River Nature Center location in Traverse City will remain in place until July 16th. We will accept Japanese barberry, yellow flag iris, and purple loosestrife. Excluding the barberry, everything MUST be double bagged and securely closed. Please utilize the QR codes on attached signage to let us know what you are disposing of!
