PLEASE NOTE: For proper pickup of the automated rubbish and recycling carts, please place carts 3 feet 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 the materials behind. The driver is not responsible to move the carts so they may be serviced. DPW is responsible for such services as rubbish pickup, recycling, tree trimming, ditch enclosure and cleaning, road grading and striping, street repair and cleaning, and the city composting program.
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. REFRIGERATOR DISPOSAL: If you are a DTE Energy electric customer, DTE Energy wants to give you a $40 rebate for your old, working refrigerator or freezer - and haul it away for FREE. Older models can use up to four times the electricity of new high-efficiency ones and cost up to $150 a year to run. So get rid of that old model, save energy and make money! Throw in an old room air conditioner or a dehumidifier, and DTE Energy will give you an extra $20 for each. Please call 866-796-0512 or visit dteenergy.com/saveenergy for a FREE pickup. Offer expires December 31, 2011. 24-hour Pollution Hotline & Environmental Information Line: 1-888-223-2363 Important Links: Ecorse Creek Watershed Management Plan Combined Downriver Watershed Management Plan |
