TECUMSEH The Tecumseh City Council unanimously approved a contract with Stevens Disposal & Recycling Service Monday after a compromise to make use of the 96-gallon totes optional.
The trash contract eliminates the 96-gallon totes for recycling and gives each homeowner the option of getting the 96-gallon tote for trash. Trash bags will continue to be picked up from the curb. The 18-gallon recycling bins will continue to be picked up once a week.
The charge per unit for the carts has gone down from the original price of $1.90 per unit to 50 cents per unit, per month. The city will have to order the carts in bulk, with a bulk load constituting 702 carts at a cost of $351.00 per month.

TECUMSEH Redeveloping the former Tecumseh Community Center into a restaurant, brewery and banquet hall took a large step forward Monday when the city council agreed to sell the building to a Jackson-based development company.
If everything goes according to plan, within about three years the Hayden-Ford Mill Building on East Chicago Boulevard next to Globe Mill Pond will be a restaurant similar to Zehnder’s or the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth. The purchase agreement the Tecumseh City Council approved requires the developer to obtain a certificate of occupancy for the rehabilitated and remodeled building within three years of closing the sale.
