After closure in 2020, YMCA reopens in downtown
NILES, Mich. — If you are a customer of Michiana Recycling and Disposal, trash service will be delayed Tuesday due to an overnight fire at the company's transfer station.
Niles Township FD just told me it started in a cardboard bin and no one was injured.
