The DPW is responsible for such services as rubbish pickup for both residential and commercial, recycling, tree trimming, ditch enclosure and cleaning, road grading and striping, street repair and cleaning, and the city composting program. Seasonal reminders: Rubbish/compost will be one day late after Memorial Day. Household Hazardous Waste Day: Saturday, May 1st, 2010 at the DPW, 25605 Northline Road, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please contact the DPW for list of acceptable items. Compost pickup: Compost pickup has begun! Please place all compost in either a clearly marked 32 gallon container or compost bags. Compost bags are available for purchase at City Hall or most local retailers. Limbs must be cut, bundled and tied in no larger than 4-foot lengths and weighing no more than 50 lbs. per bundle.
Street sweeping: The DPW sweeps all concrete streets several times annually. Street sweeping is performed the same day as trash pick up. Asphalt roads are swept once a year in the spring. Residents are required to keep all vehicles off the street to ensure proper trash removal and street sweeping. Please do not place trash receptacles in the road, this interferes with the street sweeping. Also, it is against City ordinance to sweep yard debris in the roadways. This could also obstruct the storm sewers, which could lead to flooding.
Tree trim and removal: The DPW maintains trees on your City easement, generally between the sidewalk and curb. We will only remove dead, diseased or dying trees. Important Links: Ecorse Creek Watershed Management Plan Combined Downriver Watershed Management Plan |
