Trash and Recycling
General Collection Guidelines
All materials must be
placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your designated collection day.
Materials not at the curb when collection vehicles pass, will not be
picked up that week. Residents should place trash and yard waste on one
side of their driveway and recyclables on the other side so that
collection crews can properly identify and pick up materials
efficiently.
Trash, recycling and
yard waste will not be collected on the following holidays: New Year’s
Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. Holidays that fall on a weekday cause a one-day delay
for that day and each regular service day thereafter in the week of the
holiday. If a holiday falls on a weekend, no delay in service will
occur.
Trash Collection Services
Trash collection occurs
every Wednesday in the City of Frankenmuth. Residents may set out an
unlimited number of bags of household trash and 2 bulky items each
week. All trash must be securely contained in bags no larger than
33-gallons. Each bag must weigh less than 50 pounds. The City does not
allow trashcans to be used for trash collection.
Bulky Items: Any item that
exceeds 50 pounds or does not fit into a standard 33-gallon bag is
considered a bulky item. Examples include furniture, mattresses and
appliances. Collection crews will tag bulky items for collection at
a later time – do not remove tagged items from the curb.
Carpet:
Carpet must be cut into 4-foot wide pieces and tied into rolls.
Each roll must not weigh more than 50 pounds.
Commercial
Garbage Hauling:
Items such as auto parts, intact garage doors, landscape timbers,
building materials, assembled swing sets and picnic tables are
NOT included in the regular curbside trash collection program.
Contact a commercial garbage hauler for removal, listed under
“Rubbish” in the yellow pages of your phone directory.
Recycling Collection Services
Recycling collection
occurs every Wednesday in the City of Frankenmuth. Residents may set
out an unlimited amount of paper and recyclable container items.
Materials must be placed at the curb in at least one official recycling
bin. Non-official recycling containers maybe used for additional
capacity. Containers must be 33-gallons or less and be labeled with a
“Recyclables Only” sticker. Contact your village office for recycling
bins and “Recyclables Only” stickers.
Recycling Paper Items
Place all paper items in the recycling bin
or a paper bag set inside the bin. Empty, flatten and cut cardboard
boxes into 2 foot by 3 foot pieces so they fit into the recycling
collection truck. Place these cardboard pieces in or under your
recycling bin.
Acceptable Paper Items
Recycling Glass, Metal and Plastic Containers
Place all glass, metal and #1 and #2
plastic containers together in one recycling bin. Remember to empty and
rinse all containers before recycling. Removing labels is not
necessary. Please throw plastic lids in the trash and recycle metal
lids. Flatten containers when possible, to maximize space in your
recycling bin and collection vehicle.
