Planners Gathering

Planners Gatherings are informational and educational forums (in-person and virtual) covering Planning and Zoning related topics relevant to communities within Oakland County.

Speakers for these sessions are often from nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies and private firms.

The format of these forums can range from casual discussions and information-sharing sessions to more formal presentations and workshops.

NoHaz - April Collection Event

To reduce wait time at collection events, we ask that you register and pay applicable fees ahead of time. If you are unable to register online, registration forms will be available onsite. If fees are applicable, you can pay at the event with cash or a check (written out to Oakland County NoHaz). Residents of member communities can attend any collection event, but we ask that you attend only one this year, if possible.

STEP ONE

Determine Your Ticket Type: All Oakland County residents can register, but the cost varies by community. Please determine what the applicable cost is for your community.*

*Note: Your community is where you pay property taxes, not necessarily what is on your driver’s license. Selecting the incorrect community may result in applicable fees being invoiced to you after the collection event.
