YARD WASTE PICKUP RESUMES - THANK YOU GOD!

Spring Yard Waste Pickup Resumes Monday, April 11
Yard waste collection will resume in the City of Farmington Hills on Monday, April 11. As of that date, all yard waste placed at the curbside in acceptable containers will be collected by the yard waste truck on the regular garbage day.
Acceptable yard waste includes leaves, grass, shrub clippings, twigs, and plant materials. There are three options available for yard waste disposal:
1. Place yard waste in a trash can (32-gallon size limit) with a “Yard Waste” sticker available free from City Hall or the DPW.
2. Put yard waste in a brown paper yard waste bag.
3. Use a mulching mower and recycle leaves and grass clippings back into the lawn.
Small limbs (six inches in diameter or less) and brush must be tied in bundles that do not exceed four feet in length or weigh more than 60 pounds per bundle. Unbundled brush and large limbs will not be picked up. Also, any brush or twigs placed in cans or bags should not stick out above the top of the container and large quantities of dirt or sod are not accepted for pickup.
For more information, call the DPW at 248-871-2850 or visit www.fhgov.com.
