The local disposal guide
Ann Arbor collects three carts every week, one for trash, one for recycling and one for compost, and the city is strict about what stays out of them. Large items are the dividing line: a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a television or a pile of construction material left at the curb is not collected and can draw a fine. Those loads go instead to Recycle Ann Arbor, the city's non-profit partner. The Drop-Off Station on East Ellsworth Road takes household material with published per item prices, and the Recovery Yard on Jackson Road takes construction and demolition debris. Ann Arbor residents can apply for a city pass that waives the Drop-Off Station gate fee, though the disposal fees still apply. Household chemicals, paint, bulbs and batteries run through Washtenaw County, which offers a weekday center in Northville and Saturday Home Toxics collections on Zeeb Road inside the city, both free to county residents with an appointment.

Furniture is accepted at the Recycle Ann Arbor drop-off sites with published per piece prices rather than at the curb.
Mattresses leave through the Recycle Ann Arbor sites, with a published price by size and no curbside option.

The handoff matters
Carts go out before 7 a.m. on the collection day, with a 4 a.m. deadline for the downtown development area, and come in by noon the next day. A cart sits on the lawn extension or against the curb, never in a bike lane, with the handles facing away from the street, three feet from other carts and the lid closed. A 64-gallon cart over 224 pounds or a 96-gallon cart over 336 pounds is not serviced.
