Household Trash
Plymouth Township offers curbside
collection to all single-family and many apartments and
condominiums within its borders. There are a few general
rules that apply to the curbside collection:
-
All items must be to the curb by 7:00
am the day of your collection and no earlier than 6:00 pm
the night before.
-
If you do not use garbage bags, your
containers must be 35-gallon or less in size.
-
The weight of any container or bag that
is put to curb cannot exceed 50 pounds.
-
Fencing materials and concrete are not
accepted curbside.
Why 35-gallon or less?
In October of 2000, the Township’s waste hauler began enforcing a
35-gallon or less container size for all residents in the Township. Increased
use of the larger size containers over the previous years led to increases in
the number of injuries to workers and, as a result, waste haulers throughout SE
Michigan have stopped collecting the larger size cans.
Many larger items are accommodated by our hauler. Examples of
these items include:
 |
Furniture |
Appliances |

Sofa, Loveseats, Chairs |
Air conditioners |
