Dearborn's Last Loose Leaf Pickup Is Dec. 9-13

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn residents, heads up, the last loose leaf collection is coming up.

The last pickup for every neighborhood is scheduled on the trash day for that neighborhood the week of Dec. 9-13.

Weather conditions may change the schedule, city officials said.

City officials say it is unlikely that loose leaves raked into the street will be picked up every week in front of individual homes.

Not every home will be served the week of Dec. 9-13. The last collection for some areas will be the week of Dec. 2-6.

Residents should not put loose leaves in the street after your trash day on the week of Dec. 9-13.

To hear the schedule, residents may call the Leaf Hotline at 313-943-2444 or visit www.cityofdearborn.org to view the schedule.

Dearborn's tips for leaf pickup

The service to pick up bagged or containerized leaves also ends on your trash day the week of Dec. 9-13.

Bagging or putting leaves in approved containers is the best method to ensure your leaves are picked up promptly. Use yard waste paper bags or 20-32 gallon containers with a City yard waste sticker on the lid and set them on your easement on your trash day by 7 a.m. Do not put any leaves out after Dec. 9-13.

Free yard waste stickers are available at the Dearborn Administrative Center, 16901 Michigan Ave., and at Esper and Bryant branch libraries (Henry Ford Centennial Library is temporarily closed for renovations.)

Leaves in plastic bags or in cardboard boxes will not be picked up.
