Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning
It seems that spring may have sprung early this year! The Department of Municipal Services trucks have been switched away from road salt (fingers crossed) and are now moving a mountain of mulch around the City. Soon, the street sweepers will be fired up.

Compost pickup will begin on April 5 on your regular trash day. Any City of Plymouth resident or business may utilize the compost collection program. Items out for compost must be placed in a paper lawn refuse bag or a can marked for compost. The compost container may be marked with an “X” or identified with a “compost” sticker available at the Municipal Services office. Compost includes grass clippings, leaves, branches, and yard debris. Compost does not include sod, dirt, rocks, dog poop, or potted plants.

Spring clean up will take place on Saturday, May 1 for homes north of Ann Arbor Trail and on Saturday, May 8 for homes south of Ann Arbor Trail. Spring clean up is a single day collection that allows for large items and extra trash to be picked up from the curb. Automated trash carts will not be serviced on this day and no recycling or compost will be collected.

Brush chipping is a year-round service and allows for the disposal of larger limbs and branches at the curb. No city bags or tags are required for brush pickup. Additionally, there is no need to notify Municipal Services of limbs at the curb. Brush chipping is not available to tree contractors. The schedule is based on the area map below. Area A receives service during the first week of the month, Area B receives service during the second week of the month, Area C receives service during the third week of the month and area D receives service during the fourth week of the month. Brush must be placed out by 6:00 a.m. on the Monday of your service week.
