City collection A couch or other household furniture piece that will not fit in the trash cart is ordinary household bulk, so it can go out beside the cart each week. Couches are also named in the list of items the DPW Yard accepts, which gives a no-cost drop-off on the third Saturday of the month. No charge. Household furniture on the weekly bulk route carries no per-item charge, and the DPW Yard takes couches and outdated furniture at no cost to Dearborn residents on the third Saturday of the month.
City collection Mattresses are named in the list of items the DPW Yard accepts, so a mattress can be dropped at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month. A mattress is also an ordinary household item that will not fit in the trash cart, so it can go out with the weekly bulk route. No charge. The DPW Yard accepts mattresses at no cost to Dearborn residents on the third Saturday of the month, and the weekly household bulk route carries no published per-item charge.
City collection Old appliances are named in the DPW Yard accepted list, so an appliance can be dropped at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month. Some appliances are also on the special pickup list, which means the household may need to book and pay for the collection instead. Old appliances are accepted at the DPW Yard at no cost on the third Saturday of the month, while the special pickup route for some appliances carries a service fee, so confirm which route applies with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150. Confirm a refrigerant unit separately.
City collection Dearborn collects household trash every weekday on the neighbourhood Public Service Day, and the household's trash goes in the gray city cart. Priority Waste has been the city contractor since July 1, 2024, and the city says the provider transition has caused missed collections that residents should report on 313-943-2150. The city does not publish a monthly collection rate on the trash and recycling page. Households that routinely exceed the standard gray cart have to order an additional cart through the City, which carries a one-time fee of $60 with no extra charge for the weekly pickup, and the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 can confirm the current service amounts.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Dearborn collects trash, recycling and yard waste every weekday on a neighbourhood collection day the city calls a Public Service Day, with gray and green carts and free yard waste stickers. Standard household items that will not fit in a cart can go out beside it each week for a separate bulk truck, while excessive quantities, heavy items, brush bundles, carpet and some appliances need a Special Pick-Up with a service fee. The DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield also takes household refuse, old appliances, couches, mattresses and furniture at no cost on the third Saturday of each month, though construction material, hazardous material, fuel and ammunition are refused everywhere and tires only go out on designated days. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Dearborn.

City cost & eligibility
The city does not publish a monthly collection rate on the trash and recycling page. Households that routinely exceed the standard gray cart have to order an additional cart through the City, which carries a one-time fee of $60 with no extra charge for the weekly pickup, and the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 can confirm the current service amounts.
When & how
Trash is collected once a week on the household's Public Service Day, and Public Service Days run from March 2 through December 7, 2026. The city publishes a Public Service Days schedule and map for the district.
Get it ready
Put the gray cart out as the city directs on the collection day. Household trash, styrofoam of any kind, wood, clothing, shoes, cushions and pillows, plants and organic seasonal decor, and plastic bags all belong in the gray cart, and household recyclables belong in the green cart instead.
The green recycling cart is collected on the same weekly Public Service Day as the trash. It takes paper, cans, plastic jugs and bottles, household plastic and metal, broken down cardboard and clean glass, and the city warns that regular trash put in the recycling cart can bring a ticket.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The green recycling cart is part of the city collection service for households on the route, and no separate recycling charge is published.
When & how
Recycling is collected once a week on the household's Public Service Day, alongside trash and yard waste.
Get it ready
Break cardboard down, keep glass bottles empty and clean, and put only the accepted material in the green cart. Household trash, styrofoam, fabrics and wood go in the gray cart instead, and the city can issue a violation and a ticket when regular trash is found in the recycling cart.
Yard waste is collected on the same Public Service Day as the trash, in reusable containers that carry a free City yard waste sticker or in paper yard waste bags. The city does not charge for the stickers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Yard waste collection is part of the weekly curbside service on the Public Service Day, and the City supplies the yard waste stickers free of charge.
When & how
Yard waste goes out on the household's Public Service Day during trash collection.
Get it ready
Use 20 to 32 gallon reusable containers with a City yard waste sticker clearly displayed, or paper yard waste bags, and place them on the property easement rather than in the street. Stickers are free at the Dearborn Administrative Center, at all Dearborn Public Library branches, or by calling 313-943-2150.
Dearborn runs a bulk collection program for standard household items that do not fit in a trash cart. Those items can be placed outside the cart each week, and a separate truck collects them by the end of the household's trash day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The weekly bulk collection program is for standard household items that do not fit in a trash cart, and the city publishes no per-item charge for that route.
When & how
Bulk items go out on the household's Public Service Day, and the separate bulk truck collects them by the end of that trash day.
Get it ready
Place the household bulk items outside the trash cart on the property easement rather than in the street. A pile that is heavier or larger than ordinary household bulk, or that includes carpet, brush bundles or certain appliances, moves to the special pickup route instead.
Excessive quantities of trash, large or heavy bulk items, bundles of brush, carpet and some appliances require a Special Pick-Up rather than the weekly bulk route. A service fee is charged for each special pickup coordinated through the City.
City cost & eligibility
The City states that a service fee is charged for each special pickup but publishes no amount, so confirm the fee and the accepted load with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 before the pickup is booked.
When & how
Call the City on 313-943-2150 to arrange the special pickup, and it is coordinated through the Department of Public Works rather than set out on the normal collection day.
Get it ready
Describe the load accurately when the pickup is booked, because the fee is charged for each special pickup and the route is intended for the loads the weekly bulk truck cannot take. Keep hazardous and construction material, fuel and ammunition out of the load entirely, since those are refused at the curb and at the DPW Yard.
A couch or other household furniture piece that will not fit in the trash cart is ordinary household bulk, so it can go out beside the cart each week. Couches are also named in the list of items the DPW Yard accepts, which gives a no-cost drop-off on the third Saturday of the month.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Household furniture on the weekly bulk route carries no per-item charge, and the DPW Yard takes couches and outdated furniture at no cost to Dearborn residents on the third Saturday of the month.
When & how
Furniture goes out on the household's Public Service Day with the weekly bulk, or to the DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Put the piece beside the trash cart on the property easement, not in the street, and keep it to household furniture. Use the DPW Yard when you want the piece gone sooner, and keep the load clear of hazardous and construction material, fuel and ammunition.
Mattresses are named in the list of items the DPW Yard accepts, so a mattress can be dropped at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month. A mattress is also an ordinary household item that will not fit in the trash cart, so it can go out with the weekly bulk route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The DPW Yard accepts mattresses at no cost to Dearborn residents on the third Saturday of the month, and the weekly household bulk route carries no published per-item charge.
When & how
Take the mattress to the DPW Yard on the third Saturday of the month between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., or set it out with the weekly bulk on the household's Public Service Day.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, set it beside the trash cart on the property easement if it goes out with the weekly bulk, and take it to the DPW Yard if the household wants the no-cost drop-off. Keep it clear of the refused material, which includes construction and hazardous waste, fuel and ammunition.
Old appliances are named in the DPW Yard accepted list, so an appliance can be dropped at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month. Some appliances are also on the special pickup list, which means the household may need to book and pay for the collection instead.
City cost & eligibility
Old appliances are accepted at the DPW Yard at no cost on the third Saturday of the month, while the special pickup route for some appliances carries a service fee, so confirm which route applies with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150. Confirm a refrigerant unit separately.
When & how
Drop the appliance at the DPW Yard on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., or call 313-943-2150 if the unit sits on the special pickup list.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure or remove the doors before it leaves the property. Confirm a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner with the City first, because the city page does not address refrigerant handling and those units are treated differently from an ordinary old appliance.
Dearborn publishes no curbside electronics route, so a television or computer does not belong in either cart. Michigan law places the responsibility on manufacturers, and EGLE states that companies selling computers, televisions and printers in Michigan must provide free and convenient recycling options for residents and small businesses.
City cost & eligibility
Michigan law makes electronics recycling free only when the device is returned to its manufacturer, and EGLE warns that collection sites have their own operating costs, so confirm whether a fee applies with the manufacturer program or the recycler before the drop-off. No municipal Dearborn electronics fee is published.
When & how
Use a manufacturer takeback program or a registered Michigan recycler, and check the state list for the current registration year before making a trip. The 2024 list names metro Detroit recyclers in Southfield, Oak Park, Roseville and Detroit.
Get it ready
Delete personal and confidential information before the device leaves the house, and ask the recycler how it handles the material. EGLE notes that registered recycling facilities are not necessarily open to the public for drop-off, so confirm access before travelling.
Construction materials are refused for disposal at both the curbside and the DPW Yard, so renovation debris never goes out with the household collection. Hazardous material, fuel and ammunition are refused on the same terms.
City cost & eligibility
Dearborn refuses construction materials at curbside and at the DPW Yard, so there is no city collection route or city fee for a project load. A renovation arranges a private container or hauling service instead, and the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 can confirm what the city will accept.
When & how
Arrange a private container or hauling service before the work starts, because neither the weekly route nor the DPW Yard takes construction material.
Get it ready
Keep lumber, drywall, roofing, concrete, tile, fixtures and demolition rubble off the curb and out of the carts. The same refused list covers hazardous material, fuel and ammunition, so nothing on that list can be set out anywhere in the city collection.
Exercise equipment is not named anywhere in the Dearborn material, so the route depends on size and weight. A machine that will not fit in the trash cart is ordinary household bulk, while something heavy or oversized belongs on the special pickup route.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not named in the city material, so confirm with the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 whether the machine rides the weekly bulk truck or needs a Special Pick-Up with its service fee. The weekly bulk route itself carries no published per-item charge.
When & how
Call the Department of Public Works on 313-943-2150 to confirm the machine, then either set it out with the weekly bulk on the household's Public Service Day or book the special pickup.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine if the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one item. Set it beside the trash cart on the property easement rather than in the street, and keep refused material out of the load.
Trash, recycling, yard waste and standard household bulk all go out on the household's Public Service Day, which is assigned by neighbourhood and runs from March 2 through December 7, 2026. Yard waste containers and bags sit on the property easement rather than in the street, and bulk items go beside the trash cart rather than inside it.
Standard household items that will not fit in the cart go out each week for the separate bulk truck. Excessive quantities, large or heavy items, bundles of brush, carpet and some appliances need a Special Pick-Up with a service fee booked on 313-943-2150. Mattresses, old appliances, couches and outdated furniture can also be dropped at the DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield at no cost on the third Saturday of the month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Construction materials, hazardous material, fuel and ammunition are refused for disposal at the curbside and at the DPW Yard. Tires are accepted only on designated tire collection days, and Wayne County runs household hazardous waste collection sites around metro Detroit with four collections a year. Electronics are not part of the city collection, and Michigan law puts recycling responsibility on the manufacturers.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

Michigan electronics takeback and registered recyclers
A household with a television, computer, printer or other electronic device that has no curbside route in Dearborn.
Cost & conditions
Michigan law makes recycling free when the device is returned to its manufacturer, and EGLE warns that collection sites have their own costs, so confirm whether a fee applies with the manufacturer program or the recycler.

Dearborn's self-haul route is the DPW Yard at 2951 Greenfield, open to residents on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at no cost, where household refuse, old appliances, couches, mattresses, outdated furniture and extra household garbage are accepted. Construction materials, hazardous material, fuel and ammunition are refused at the yard and at the curb, and tires only go out on designated tire collection days, so those loads need another route. Wayne County runs household hazardous waste collection sites around metro Detroit with four collections a year, and electronics are handled through Michigan's manufacturer takeback system and the state's registered recyclers rather than through the city.
