RUBBISH AND RECYCLING PICK UP: On Schedule

COMPOST PICK UP:  Begins the first week of March, 2013

Please place all compost in either a clearly marked 32 gallon container or compost bags.  Compost bags are available for purchase at City Hall, DPW 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. Compost will be picked up March 1st through the last week of November.

REGARDING RUBBISH AND RECYCLING CARTS:

For proper pickup of the automated rubbish and recycling carts, please place carts three fee apart from each other.  The arm on the automated truck needs this space for grabbing the cart. If they are not properly spaced, the driver will place a notice on the cart and leave materials behind.  The driver is not responsible for moving carts so they may be serviced. Thank you.

HOUSEHOLD AND HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL: To be determined

8:00 am to 2:00 pm, There will be a household hazardous waste disposal at Southland Shopping Center, 23000 Eureka Road  in Taylor.


RECYCLE PERK PROGRAM:

If you are having issues with the Recycle Perk program, please call the Customer Service Center and leave your name, address, phone number, and recycle cart number.  A request will be made to have your concerns investigated.  Most issues have been resolved at this point, but if you feel that you are missing points or your information is incorrect, please do not hesitate to call.  Thank you


CITY WIDE GARAGE SALE:  Thursday, May 23 - Thursday, May 30, 2013

There will be free disposal of items that you were not able to sell at the Transfer Station on Friday, May 31st and Saturday, June 1st during normal business hours - Taylor residents only.

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.

DTE STREETLIGHT OUTAGES:


The DPW reports streetlight outages to DTE for repair.  Please contact the DPW office with location of the pole, please try to have an exact address of location for DTE crews.  DTE asks for a ten business day return time to repair the light, depending on the severity of the repair this time may be extended.

24-hour Pollution Hotline & Environmental Information Line:  1-888-223-2363
