SPRING YARD WASTE PICKUP RESUMES

Spring Yard Waste Pickup Resumes Monday, March 31

Yard waste collection will resume in the City of Farmington Hills on Monday,
March 31. 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.
