City collection Sofas, furniture and rolled carpet are named bulk items in Taylor, so they are collected at the curb on the weekly service day. Carpet is rolled into 4-foot sections, and the City lists heavy or loose debris such as furniture, a toilet or a vanity at a per-item bulk rate. From $10 for the City of Taylor residential bulk rate of $10 per item for heavy or loose debris such as furniture, a toilet or a vanity, and $10 for carpet tied and bundled from a 12 by 12 room. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program.
City collection A mattress or box spring is a named curbside bulk item in Taylor, so it is collected on the weekly service day rather than placed in the rubbish cart. Households can also haul a mattress to the Taylor Hills Transfer Station, where the City publishes a per-mattress drop-off rate with one free mattress or box spring each year. From $10 for the City of Taylor residential bulk rate of $10 for one to three bulk items that do not fit the 96-gallon rubbish can. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program. The transfer station publishes a separate residential rate of $50 per mattress or box spring, with one free mattress or box spring each year for a resident household, and contractor or non-resident drop-off at $75.
City collection Appliances are named curbside bulk items in Taylor, and refrigeration-bearing units such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are accepted at the curb as well. An appliance that still holds refrigerant needs the Department of Public Works removal sticker the City sells. From $10 for the City of Taylor residential bulk rate of $10 for appliances with Freon removed, plus the City fee schedule listing for a Department of Public Works refrigerator removal sticker for an appliance that still contains Freon at $30. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program.
City collection Taylor collects household rubbish every week, and every household on the route uses the City cart. Rubbish is bagged before it goes into the cart, placed on the easement instead of the street, and set out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before the pickup day. The City does not publish a monthly rubbish rate for households on the route. Cart changes and extra capacity are priced on the City schedule, which lists a 96-gallon rubbish cart lease at $125 and a 64-gallon cart lease at $115, so confirm service and cart details with the City Customer Service Center at 734-287-6550 or the Department of Public Works customer assistance center at City Hall.
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?
Taylor runs one citywide curbside program through Priority Waste, and trash, recycling, compost and bulk items all come out on the same weekly service day between Monday and Friday. Bulk is part of the regular collection rather than a separate appointment, so a sofa, a mattress, rolled carpet or an appliance can go out beside the rubbish cart, and the City publishes residential bulk rates for loads that run past the cart. The City also runs its own transfer station and compost facility at 16300 Racho Road, where homeowners get two free dump visits a year with proof of residency. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Taylor.
Taylor collects household rubbish every week, and every household on the route uses the City cart. Rubbish is bagged before it goes into the cart, placed on the easement instead of the street, and set out no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before the pickup day.
City cost & eligibility
The City does not publish a monthly rubbish rate for households on the route. Cart changes and extra capacity are priced on the City schedule, which lists a 96-gallon rubbish cart lease at $125 and a 64-gallon cart lease at $115, so confirm service and cart details with the City Customer Service Center at 734-287-6550 or the Department of Public Works customer assistance center at City Hall.
When & how
Trash, recycling, compost and bulk are collected on the same weekly service day, Monday through Friday. When a legal holiday falls in the collection week, the rest of that week moves back one day, and the City names Christmas, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
Get it ready
Bag rubbish before it goes in the cart, place the cart on the easement in front of the address, and keep the lid closed so the truck arm can empty the container. Bring the cart in after collection, because street parking is not allowed on the collection day.
Recycling is collected every week on the same day as rubbish, in the City recycling cart. Paper, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, jugs, tubs and containers, and food and beverage cartons are all part of the curbside mix.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Recycling is part of the City curbside service for households on the route, and the City leases one recycling cart to each household at no charge.
When & how
Recycling goes out on the same weekly service day as rubbish, Monday through Friday, and the same one-day holiday shift applies.
Get it ready
Place material loose in the recycling cart rather than bagged. Rinse containers, leave caps and lids on, break cardboard and paperboard boxes down, and keep plastic bags or film, plastic cups, styrofoam, food waste, soiled pizza boxes, pyrex or ceramic, bubble wrap, plastic silverware and metal or plastic hangers out of the cart.
Yard waste and compost are collected with the weekly rubbish from March through mid-December and pause in January and February. Material goes in a can with a compost sticker or in paper yard waste bags, and plastic is never accepted.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Compost collection is part of the City curbside rubbish service for Taylor households, and compost stickers are free at the City Clerk's Office, the customer service desk and the Department of Public Works building.
When & how
Compost is collected on the household's weekly service day from March through mid-December, weather permitting. The hauler publishes the Taylor compost season as March 2 through December 11, 2026.
Get it ready
Use a rubbish can with a free compost sticker or a paper yard waste bag, keep compost separate from household rubbish, and tie branches that do not fit a can in 4-foot lengths under 50 pounds. Bags and cans are refused when rubbish or debris is mixed into the compost.
Bulk items are collected at the curb on the normal weekly pickup day, and no special appointment is needed. The hauler asks for bulk loads within reason and prefers three items or eight bags, while the City prices larger loads on its published residential bulk rate schedule.
City cost & eligibility
From $5 for a residential bulk load under the City of Taylor fee schedule, which lists $5 for three extra bags, $10 for one to three bulk items that do not fit the 96-gallon rubbish can, $10 for more than three bags outside the can, $10 per item for heavy or loose debris such as furniture, a toilet or a vanity, $10 for carpet tied and bundled from a 12 by 12 room, $10 for appliances with Freon removed, $25 for more than three bulky items that do fit in the can, and a $50 minimum for a move up or clean up the City reviews and assigns. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program.
When & how
Bulk goes out on the same weekly service day as rubbish, Monday through Friday, and Priority Waste collects it without a special pickup request.
Get it ready
Package bulk items in boxes or containers where that is practical, keep the pile to household goods, and call Priority Waste at 1-855-927-8365 before a large move-out load so the crew knows what is coming.
Sofas, furniture and rolled carpet are named bulk items in Taylor, so they are collected at the curb on the weekly service day. Carpet is rolled into 4-foot sections, and the City lists heavy or loose debris such as furniture, a toilet or a vanity at a per-item bulk rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the City of Taylor residential bulk rate of $10 per item for heavy or loose debris such as furniture, a toilet or a vanity, and $10 for carpet tied and bundled from a 12 by 12 room. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program.
When & how
Furniture and carpet go out on the same weekly service day as rubbish, Monday through Friday, and no special pickup is required.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole where the crew can handle it, roll carpet into 4-foot sections and tie it, and place everything on the easement instead of in the street.
A mattress or box spring is a named curbside bulk item in Taylor, so it is collected on the weekly service day rather than placed in the rubbish cart. Households can also haul a mattress to the Taylor Hills Transfer Station, where the City publishes a per-mattress drop-off rate with one free mattress or box spring each year.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the City of Taylor residential bulk rate of $10 for one to three bulk items that do not fit the 96-gallon rubbish can. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program. The transfer station publishes a separate residential rate of $50 per mattress or box spring, with one free mattress or box spring each year for a resident household, and contractor or non-resident drop-off at $75.
When & how
Set the mattress out on the household's weekly service day, Monday through Friday, or take it to the Taylor Hills Transfer Station at 16300 Racho Road, which is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and place it on the easement instead of in the street. At the transfer station, show proof of residency for the free annual mattress allowance, and pay by credit or debit card because cash and American Express are not accepted.
Appliances are named curbside bulk items in Taylor, and refrigeration-bearing units such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are accepted at the curb as well. An appliance that still holds refrigerant needs the Department of Public Works removal sticker the City sells.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 for the City of Taylor residential bulk rate of $10 for appliances with Freon removed, plus the City fee schedule listing for a Department of Public Works refrigerator removal sticker for an appliance that still contains Freon at $30. City of Taylor residential addresses served by the curbside program.
When & how
Set the appliance out on the household's weekly service day, and call 1-855-927-8365 for a refrigeration unit so the collection crew knows it is coming.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove or secure the doors, and settle the refrigerant step before the pickup. The City sells a removal sticker through the Department of Public Works for an appliance that still contains Freon, while an appliance with the refrigerant already removed goes out as a standard bulk item.
Electronics are on the City list of items that will not be accepted curbside at any time, so a television, computer or monitor does not belong in the rubbish cart or the recycling cart. Michigan routes the material through manufacturer take back programs and registered electronics recyclers.
City cost & eligibility
Taylor publishes no curbside electronics route and no curbside electronics fee. The transfer station refused list does not name electronics, so confirm a drop-off with the Department of Public Works at 734-287-6550 before carrying a unit there, and otherwise use a registered Michigan electronics recycler or a manufacturer take back program, which set their own charges.
When & how
Use a registered Michigan electronics recycler or a manufacturer take back program, and check the state map for a site that accepts public drop-offs. Ask the Department of Public Works at 734-287-6550 before taking a television or monitor to the Taylor Hills Transfer Station, because the site page does not address electronics either way.
Get it ready
Delete the data completely before the device leaves the house, which takes more than deleting files or reformatting a drive. Keep the unit out of both carts, and ask the recycler how it handles televisions and monitors.
Construction and demolition material is refused at the curb and at the transfer station. Concrete, walls, building materials, brick, shingles, landscape bricks, sod, dirt, rocks and whole shrubs are named on the City refused lists, so a renovation load needs a private container or hauling service.
City cost & eligibility
Taylor does not collect construction or remodeling debris at the curb, and the transfer station refuses concrete, brick and shingles, so no city route and no city fee exists for a project load. The City Customer Service Center at 734-287-6550 can confirm what the curb will take.
When & how
Arrange a private container or hauling service before the work starts, because neither the weekly collection nor the transfer station 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 whole shrubs, stumps, sod, dirt, rocks and landscape bricks from a project.
Tires are refused at the curb, at the transfer station and at the county household hazardous waste days, so Taylor publishes no tire collection route.
City cost & eligibility
Tires appear on the City list of items that will not be accepted curbside at any time, on the transfer station refused list, and among the items the Wayne County hazardous waste days do not take. The City publishes no tire fee, so ask the Department of Public Works at 734-287-6550 for the route currently in use.
When & how
There is no city tire collection. Ask the Department of Public Works at 734-287-6550 about the route currently in use before storing tires for pickup.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the curb and out of the rubbish and recycling carts, because every city and county route publishes them as refused.
Exercise equipment is not named in the City curbside lists, so the route depends on the machine. A treadmill or weight bench that will not fit the rubbish cart is ordinary household bulk within reason, while something heavy or awkward is worth confirming with the hauler first.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment has no named local rate. Confirm with Priority Waste at 1-855-927-8365 or the City Customer Service Center at 734-287-6550 whether the machine rides the weekly bulk collection under the published residential bulk rate or needs another arrangement.
When & how
Call 1-855-927-8365 to confirm the machine, then set it out on the household's normal weekly service day.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine if the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one item, then place it on the easement instead of in the street.
Rubbish is placed on the easement in front of the address no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before the regular pickup day. Carts never go in the street, and street parking is not allowed on the collection day.
Rubbish must be bagged before it is placed in the cart, and the lid is kept closed so the truck arm can pick the container up and empty it. Improper placement can bring a violation and a possible fine.
When a legal holiday falls in the collection week, the rest of that week's schedule moves back one day. A holiday that lands on a weekend does not change the schedule.
Compost goes in a rubbish can with a free compost sticker or in a paper yard waste bag and is kept separate from household rubbish. Plastic bags are never accepted, and branches that do not fit a can are tied in 4-foot lengths under 50 pounds.
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.

Taylor runs its own drop-off site at the Taylor Hills Transfer Station and Compost Facility, 16300 Racho Road south of Eureka, open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Each Taylor homeowner gets two free dump visits of up to 500 pounds a year with proof of residency, and rental or non-homestead properties pay the published rates by credit or debit card because cash and American Express are not accepted. The same site refuses hazardous waste, concrete, brick, shingles, tires, paint, car parts, boats and trailers, so hazardous material goes to a Wayne County household hazardous waste collection day instead and electronics go to a registered Michigan recycler or a manufacturer take back program. Tires have no city drop-off, and the curbside lists do not take them either.
