City of Woodhaven issued the following announcement on Mar. 1.
Michigan Law prohibits disposing of yard waste in a landfill. This means you are required to separate yard waste from regular trash.
Place Yard Waste at the curb before 6:00 a.m. on your regular trash pickup day 10 feet from your regular trash.
Yard Waste includes Grass Clippings, Leaves, Tree Trimmings, Shrubs, Bushes. Shrubs, bushes and branches must be properly prepared. No longer than three feet lengths and bundled with rope material, no larger than a 15 inch diameter. Condense as much as possible. Dirt, sod, woodchips and large stock wood are not acceptable items for curbside pickup. Use a can no larger than 32 gallons (lid required).
A "COMPOST" STICKER MUST BE ON THE CAN. Stickers are available at the DPS and City Clerk's Offices. Containers can be marked with paint or marker as long as it clearly states "COMPOST".
Large brown paper compost bags may be used for yard waste and do not need special markings. These can be purchased at large retail stores, lawn and garden stores, etc.
Yard Waste will not be accepted in plastic bags, grocery bags, cardboard boxes or other unapproved containers.
