REFUSE & RECYCLING

You Recycle . . . Then What ? 

Household Hazardous Waste Events
THANK YOU for recycling!  When you sort your recyclables from your trash, you take the first step in the recycling process.  After you place your recycling bin at your curb or use one of our regional recycling drop-off centers, your recyclables go to the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Southfield.  At the MRF, the items you recycle are sorted, baled and shipped to mills and plants where the materials are made into something new. If a holiday falls on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, pick up will be delayed one day. The following holidays are observed:

New Year’s Day   Fourth of July     Thanksgiving

Memorial Day     Labor Day           Christmas

 

64-gallon recycling carts are available upon request for Walled Lake curbside recycling customers.

Contact Priority Waste at (586) 228-1200

(Additional $3 monthly fee per cart applies)

 

Refuse pickup is on Wednesdays, please have trash out to the curb by 5:30 a.m.

For any questions or missed trashed, please contact Priority Waste (586) 228-1200 or visit website: prioritywaste.com

 Yard Waste

  1. On your regular garbage pick up day, place grass clippings, leaves, twigs and any other yard waste in brown paper yard waste bags or in a container clearly marked "Yard Waste". Items not accepted as yard waste are the following: Straw, hay, yard waste mixed with trash, apples, logs, tree stumps, dirt, rocks, sod or yard waste in plastic bags. 
  2. The City's refuse hauler will also pick up branches if they are less than two (2) inches in diameter and are bundled in four (4) foot lengths.  Brush bundles should not exceed forty (40) pounds. 
  3. Yard waste season begins the first Wednesday in April and runs through the last Wednesday in November.
