Bulky items are tagged with an orange sticker by your regular trash driver. A special truck designed to handle oversized items will be scheduled to pick up items. If the bulky item is not picked up before your next regular trash day, please contact MMWA at 989-781-9555.

Why can’t I recycle foam carryout containers?
Can I recycle #3 – #7 plastics?
Where do I get another recycling bin?
Where do I get more “Recyclables Only” stickers?
Other
Foam products like carryout containers, meat trays, egg cartons, product packaging, and packing peanuts, are not accepted because there is no market for this material. Try to avoid purchasing products with foam packaging and take a reusable container with you when dining out to hold any leftovers.

Please close bag(s) or use lids. Twigs may not extend more than 6″ above the top of a bag/can.
