Welcome!

East Bay Charter Township is located in the northwest corner of the Lower Peninsula nestled among many inland lakes inside Grand Traverse County. Our township is a mix of rolling farmland, forests and Lake Michigan beach front. East Bay is an exciting and growing community with a unique blend of commercial and residential development.

This year we are trying something new so that more residents can take advantage of our yearly Clean-Up Day.  Starting May 1st, you can come to the township and pick up a flyer. This flyer can be used one time between the months of May and September. Loads will be accepted Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. when using the flyer. The flyer may only be used once and if you lose it, you may not pick up another one. The Compactor is open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Additional information can be found on the flyer. If you have any further questions, please call the township at (231) 947-8647.
