The City pays for rubbish pickup, collection of recyclables, and yard waste from GFL Environmental through your tax dollars. We generally participate in West Bloomfield’s hazardous waste events which are usually offered in April and September.

Weekly collections of rubbish, recycling, and yard waste are made on Mondays. Rubbish and recycling should be placed at the curb or at the edge of the street upon which the residence fronts no earlier than 4 p.m. on Sunday evening. Yard waste may be placed at the curb as early as 9 a.m. on Saturday. All waste, recycling, and yard waste should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m.

Yard WasteHolidays push their pickup schedules back one day with regular schedules resuming the following week. Therefore, collection will take place on Tuesday whenever one of the following holidays fall on Monday of that week:

  • Memorial Day
  • Independence Day
  • Labor Day
  • Christmas
  • New Years

GFL Environmental has a weight limit of 60 lbs for any one trash item and a maximum trash container volume of 35 gallons for trash cans. Larger containers can be purchased from GFL Environmental. The hand baskets for recycling are available for free at City Hall.

The yard waste collection program runs from the first Monday in April through the second Monday in December. Yard waste must be either in a kraft paper bag, up to a 32 gallon plastic or metal container marked yard waste, or bundled.
