Chassell Centennial Park Fund Raiser Replace Pump for Fish Cleaning Station
The fish cleaning station at Centennial Park has long been a valued resource for anglers from Chassell and visitors from all over. Installed in 2009, it’s a place where families and friends gather after a day on the water, sharing stories and preparing their catch. Unfortunately, recent vandalism forced the Township to replace the station, putting a strain on the community’s resources and threatening this important tradition.
Thanks to the generosity of the Walleye Society and The Chassell VFW, $2,500 has already been raised toward the estimated $10,000 needed for replacement and ongoing maintenance. However, there is still a significant gap to fill. The fish cleaning station is more than just a convenience—it’s a symbol of community spirit and a vital part of the local outdoor experience. By contributing to this fundraiser, you’ll help ensure that anglers and visitors can continue to enjoy Centennial Park for years to come.
The Chassell Township Board, Planning Commission, and our local community are asking for your support to restore and maintain this valuable resource. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Please help us keep Centennial Park welcoming and functional for everyone who loves fishing and spending time in the great outdoors.
There will be a scrap tire collection again this year! Portage Township will be hosting the event. Chassell residents are from 1-3 pm.

ATTN Chassell Township Residents-NEW Garbage System!
Saturday, January 3rd, 2026 we will only be using the new Pay As You Throw (PAYT) bags. No cash will be accepted unless you purchase the new bags. Recycling rates will increase from $10 to $13 per 2.2 bushel basket. Punch cards can be purchased for $130 for recycling.
Why are we going to a PAYT system?
– Fairness – People who produce less trash, like seniors or those who compost and recycle well, will pay less.
– Encourages good habits – PAYT incentivizes recycling and composting, reducing the overall waste stream.
– Protects taxpayers – As tipping/disposal fees rise, PAYT helps the town control costs and avoid tax increases.
Bags will be available for purchase at: Township Office, Chassell General Store and DPW.
They come in 2 sizes:
33 gal with wave top-10 bags for $40 (Purple)
15 gal with drawstring-5 bags for $10 (Green)
