Mid Michigan Waste Authority - Get Into Recycle-Motion!

Trash Details

Residents of MMWA member communities may set out an unlimited number of bags or cans of household generated trash each week.

Trash must be in bags or trashcans no larger than 33 gallons and each bag or trashcan should not weigh more than 50 pounds each. All trash must be securely contained in bags or trashcans to reduce litter and discourage pests.

Bulky Items

Any item that exceeds 50 pounds or does not fit into a standard 33 gallon bag or trashcan is considered a bulky item. Furniture, mattresses and appliances are examples of bulky items.

Items such as auto parts, intact garage doors, landscape timbers, building materials, assembled swing sets and picnic tables are NOT included in the regular MMWA curbside collection program. Contact a commercial garbage hauler for removal, listed under “Rubbish” in the yellow pages of your phone directory.

You are allowed to set out 2 bulky items per week on your regular collection day.

Carpet must be cut into 4-foot wide rolls, tied up or duct taped and weigh no more than 50 pounds per roll. The trash hauler will tag heavy bulky items for collection at a later time – do not remove the tagged item from the curb.

Brush

One bundle of brush (cut or broken branches) is allowed each week. Individual brush must be more than 2″ diameter. The bundle must be no more than 3 foot x 4 foot in size. Bundle brush with twine and place at curb next to trash for collection.

Contact a tree removal or landscape service to pick up larger amounts of brush and trees/limbs.
