Garlic mustard is on the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network Top 12 list of invasive species and presents a high risk to our regional ecology.
To assist Leelanau residents in removing this plant from their yards and gardens (and maybe around the Village), the Village of Empire has rented a garlic mustard disposal bin for the next five weeks.
To remove garlic mustard, use gloves, pull from the root and place in a garbage bag. You may drop off those garbage bags of pulled plants in the GFL green dumpster located behind the Village DPW Garage.
