Exercise equipment removal
in Farmington Hills.

Farmington Hills keeps almost everything inside its own weekly collection, so the first answer for a couch, a mattress, a refrigerator or a treadmill is the curb rather than a trip. The city contracts with Priority Waste for refuse, recycling, bulk item pickup and yard waste, bulk items are collected on the regular collection day with no call in advance, and the definition covers large furniture, bed springs, mattresses and box springs, a refrigerator or freezer with the doors removed, a stove and similar household items. Cans, bags and bundles go out no earlier than 6:00 PM the day before and everything has to be at the curb by 7:00 AM because collection runs from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and the timing varies week to week, and containers must be between 10 and 35 gallons with a combined weight under 60 pounds. Yard waste follows a season that runs from the week of April 6 to the week of December 14 in 2026 and takes brown paper bags, a 35 gallon can with a free sticker from City Hall or the DPW, or bundles of limbs up to six inches across, four feet long and 60 pounds, and Christmas trees ride the regular trash until the end of January. What the city will not take is where a trip becomes necessary: construction debris, building materials, concrete, dirt, bricks, sheet rock, siding, shingles, ceramic tile, masonry, tree stumps, pianos and tires are all refused, with tires pointed at a retailer and vehicle parts at a scrap metal dealer or salvage yard. Household chemicals and used computer equipment go to the annual co-sponsored hazardous materials drop-off day at Oakland Community College's Orchard Ridge Campus on 27055 Orchard Lake Road, and Farmington Hills residents can also use any RRRASOC region-wide event or the authority's ERG site at 13040 Merriman Road in Livonia, where RRRASOC residents may drop hazardous waste on non-event days without a fee. Recyclables can be dropped unsorted at the RRRASOC materials recovery facility at 20000 W. Eight Mile Road in Southfield or at the Novi site, both free and open to the public seven days a week during daylight hours, with foam, hazardous waste and electronics excluded from those sites, and free compost is available to residents at the Dog Park property on Shiawassee Road.
