Yard waste will be collected through Dec. 15
DEARBORN – The city’s 2023 curbside yard waste program is set to begin March 13, and will last through Dec. 15.
Starting March 13, residents can put yard waste in properly marked containers at the curb on or before their trash collection day. The service provides residents the opportunity to get a head start on spring cleanup.
Yard waste includes grass clippings, weeds, leaves, shrubs, and brush trimmings.
Fruit, vegetables, animal droppings, and seasonal decorations cannot be mixed with yard waste. Sod and dirt are not yard waste and will not be collected.
Residents should place the yard waste containers at least three feet away from their trash cart and recycling cart. Yard waste may not be placed in the street.
Acceptable containers include yard waste paper bags or a resident’s own 20- to 32-gallon container clearly marked with a yard waste sticker.
Yard waste placed in plastic bags or cardboard boxes will not be picked up.
To arrange for a special pickup of unbundled or improperly bundled brush, or for more information, call 313-943-2150.
These free stickers are available at Henry Ford Centennial Library, 16301 Michigan Ave.; Esper Branch Library, 12929 W. Warren Ave.; Bryant Branch Library, 22100 Michigan Ave.; and at the Dearborn Administrative Center, 16901 Michigan Ave. during normal operating hours.
Days and hours of operation for each library is available at dearbornlibrary.org. The Dearborn Administrative Center is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
