City collection Warren takes furniture with the weekly refuse collection. The city's own guideline tells residents to set items that are too large for a container, naming furniture among them, neatly next to the rubbish containers, so a couch leaves on the same day as the trash rather than on a separate paid bulky route. Furniture is also on the accept list at the Recycling Center if you would rather haul it. No charge. Collected with the regular weekly curbside service at no separate charge, because the city guideline places oversized items such as furniture beside the rubbish containers and publishes no bulky item fee; the Recycling Center drop-off is also free to residents.
City collection Mattresses are named on the city's oversized item list, so a mattress or box spring goes out beside the rubbish containers with the regular collection. The one added requirement is health related: a mattress with bed bugs must be wrapped and contained in plastic before it is set out. No charge. Collected with the weekly curbside service at no separate charge, because the city guideline lists mattresses with the oversized items placed beside the rubbish containers and publishes no mattress fee.
City collection Appliances are on the oversized item list, so washers, dryers, stoves and the rest go out beside the containers with the weekly collection, and the Recycling Center takes appliances as well. Two conditions decide whether a unit is actually collected: a refrigerator or freezer has to be empty with the doors removed, and an air conditioner or dehumidifier has to have its freon removed by a licensed recovery or heating and cooling company with a sticker attached to prove it. No charge. Included in the weekly curbside service with no separate appliance fee, provided a refrigerator or freezer is empty with the doors off and an air conditioner or dehumidifier carries the licensed freon removal sticker; the Recycling Center also accepts appliances free to residents.
City collection Warren has no separate bulky item programme because oversized material is part of the weekly service. The guideline says to set anything too large for a container neatly beside the rubbish containers, and the Recycling Center backs that up by accepting furniture and household refuse from residents. Households that keep overfilling one cart can add another cart from the Sanitation Department, and carts are replaced free when the city damages them. No charge. Oversized items go out with the regular weekly curbside collection at no separate bulky item charge, because the city places them beside the rubbish containers and publishes no bulky pickup fee; additional carts, which are billed separately, are ordered through the Sanitation Department.
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?
Warren collects its own trash, recycling and compost, and it does not run a separate paid bulky item programme. The city's curbside guidelines put carpets, appliances, furniture and mattresses in the same weekly collection as everything else, with the instruction to set them neatly beside the rubbish containers, and the only preparation the city adds is item specific: cut and tie carpet in four foot lengths, empty a refrigerator or freezer and take the doors off, and get the freon removed from an air conditioner or dehumidifier by a licensed company with a sticker to prove it. Televisions, computers and electronics are the exception, because the city sends those to the Recycling Center on Flanders rather than to the curb, and tires and hazardous material are refused on both routes. The same yard is where the city's private vendor list points for anything it will not take, from concrete and stumps to propane tanks.
Warren takes furniture with the weekly refuse collection. The city's own guideline tells residents to set items that are too large for a container, naming furniture among them, neatly next to the rubbish containers, so a couch leaves on the same day as the trash rather than on a separate paid bulky route. Furniture is also on the accept list at the Recycling Center if you would rather haul it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Collected with the regular weekly curbside service at no separate charge, because the city guideline places oversized items such as furniture beside the rubbish containers and publishes no bulky item fee; the Recycling Center drop-off is also free to residents.
When & how
Set the piece beside your rubbish containers on your normal collection day, out by 6 a.m. or no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before. Holidays during the week push the rest of that week one day later.
Get it ready
Keep the piece whole and out at the curb rather than in the back yard, keep it clear of the cart so the truck can reach both, and cut, roll and tie carpet or padding in four foot lengths if that is part of the load.
Mattresses are named on the city's oversized item list, so a mattress or box spring goes out beside the rubbish containers with the regular collection. The one added requirement is health related: a mattress with bed bugs must be wrapped and contained in plastic before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Collected with the weekly curbside service at no separate charge, because the city guideline lists mattresses with the oversized items placed beside the rubbish containers and publishes no mattress fee.
When & how
Set the mattress next to the containers on your normal collection day, out by 6 a.m. or after 6 p.m. the evening before.
Get it ready
Keep it flat and dry, wrap and contain it in plastic if it has bed bugs, and keep it clear of the cart and of the compost pile so each collection can reach its own material.
Appliances are on the oversized item list, so washers, dryers, stoves and the rest go out beside the containers with the weekly collection, and the Recycling Center takes appliances as well. Two conditions decide whether a unit is actually collected: a refrigerator or freezer has to be empty with the doors removed, and an air conditioner or dehumidifier has to have its freon removed by a licensed recovery or heating and cooling company with a sticker attached to prove it.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the weekly curbside service with no separate appliance fee, provided a refrigerator or freezer is empty with the doors off and an air conditioner or dehumidifier carries the licensed freon removal sticker; the Recycling Center also accepts appliances free to residents.
When & how
Set the appliance beside the rubbish containers on your regular collection day and arrange the freon work before then if the unit is an air conditioner or dehumidifier.
Get it ready
Empty the unit completely, remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer, keep the unit upright, and attach the licensed refrigerant recovery sticker to an air conditioner or dehumidifier so the crew can see the freon work has been done.
Electronics do not go to the curb. The city's recycling rules say computers, electronics and scrap metal are not picked up at the curb but may be brought to the Recycling Center, and that yard lists computers and electronics on its accept list. So the working route for a television, monitor or computer is the Flanders yard during its published hours, not the weekly truck.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Warren residents at the Recycling Center, with proof of residency such as a driver's licence; no curbside collection for electronics is published, so the drop-off yard is the route.
When & how
Load the devices and take them to the Recycling Center during its published hours, or set them out only if a city employee has told you the item is part of the curbside oversized list.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers and phones, keep cables with the device they belong to, and keep electronics out of the recycling bin and off the curb, where they are not collected.
Warren accepts a little renovation material and refuses the rest. The Recycling Center takes limited amounts of building and construction material, with every load judged by the yard personnel, refuses shingles, and turns contractors away entirely. The older version of the same handout is blunter about the limit, refusing large amounts of building materials, so a small homeowner load stands a chance and a full remodel does not.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Limited amounts of building and construction material are accepted free at the Recycling Center from Warren residents with proof of residency in a personal vehicle, subject to the yard personnel's judgement; contractors are not eligible to use the yard for any material.
When & how
Take a small load to the Recycling Center during its published hours and let the yard personnel judge it, and arrange something else for a full renovation before the work starts.
Get it ready
Keep shingles, tree stumps and large amounts of building material out of the load, separate anything that the yard will not take, and be ready to unload it yourself because no assistance is available.
Exercise equipment is not on the city's oversized item list and not on the Recycling Center accept list, even though the city names furniture and appliances there. Because both routes work from published lists rather than a general rule about size, a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Division before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine appears on the curbside oversized item list or the Recycling Center accept list, and no fee is published for one. Call the Sanitation Division on 586-775-1400 with the size of the machine and confirm whether it will be collected or whether it needs a private arrangement.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Division first, then either set the machine beside the containers on the day you are told or arrange private disposal.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, tape the cables and keep the frame parts together, and keep it clear of the cart and of the compost pile while you wait for the answer.
Warren has no separate bulky item programme because oversized material is part of the weekly service. The guideline says to set anything too large for a container neatly beside the rubbish containers, and the Recycling Center backs that up by accepting furniture and household refuse from residents. Households that keep overfilling one cart can add another cart from the Sanitation Department, and carts are replaced free when the city damages them.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Oversized items go out with the regular weekly curbside collection at no separate bulky item charge, because the city places them beside the rubbish containers and publishes no bulky pickup fee; additional carts, which are billed separately, are ordered through the Sanitation Department.
When & how
Put the load beside your containers on your normal collection day by 6 a.m., or after 6 p.m. the evening before, and keep the carts three feet apart with their lids closed so they can be emptied.
Get it ready
Bag loose trash and keep the lid closed, cut and tie carpets and padding in four foot lengths, keep the pile clear of the compost cart, and leave out the material the city refuses curbside, which includes dirt, sod, bricks, rocks, tires and hazardous waste.
Warren refuses tires on every route it publishes. They are named in the curbside list of material that will not be collected, and they do not appear on the Recycling Center accept list, which names auto batteries and motor oil but no tires. A resident with tires has to use a retail tire dealer or a licensed private hauler.
City cost & eligibility
The city does not offer a tire collection. Tires are refused curbside by name and are absent from the Recycling Center accept list, so the route is a retail tire dealer or one of the private vendors the city lists for other material, priced by that business.
When & how
Do not put tires out on any collection day. Ask a tire dealer to take them when new tires are fitted, or arrange a private haul.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the curb, out of the cart and out of a load bound for the Recycling Center, and ask the receiving business what rim condition and quantity it accepts before loading.
Hazardous material stays out of the cart and goes to a collection instead. Macomb County runs free monthly household hazardous waste drop-offs by appointment for county households, and the city brochure also describes a Warren drop-off day at the Recycling Center on the Saturday after Labor Day, with oil based paint, gasoline, antifreeze, solvents, batteries, mercury items, fluorescent tubes and medications named. Latex paint is the exception and is refused at those collections because it dries out and goes in the regular trash.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free for Macomb County households at the county collections, which require an appointment and refuse business waste, and free for residents at the city drop-off day; latex paint has no collection and is set out with regular refuse once it is solidified with the lid off.
When & how
Call the Macomb County hotline on 586-466-7923 for the next appointment date, or check the city's Saturday after Labor Day date before loading anything.
Get it ready
Keep products in labeled or original containers and never mix them, transport leaking containers in a pail, combine medications in a plain bag rather than the bottles, keep latex paint out of the load and dry it with cat litter or sand with the lid off, and take smoke detectors and ammunition to the routes the brochure names instead.
Refuse and compost go to the grass at the curb by 6 a.m. or no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before the scheduled collection, and until then the carts and bags stay at the side of the house or in the rear yard. The carts have to be three feet apart with the lids closed and nothing protruding from the top, and a compost pile is placed five feet from the rest of the garbage. When a holiday falls in the week, collection runs a day late for the rest of that week.
Furniture and mattresses are set neatly beside the rubbish containers rather than inside them, and a mattress with bed bugs has to be wrapped and contained in plastic first. Carpets and padding are cut, rolled and tied securely in four foot lengths. A refrigerator or freezer is emptied and its doors removed, with the freon left in place. An air conditioner or dehumidifier is different: the freon has to be removed by a licensed refrigerant recovery or heating and cooling company and a sticker proving the work has to be attached to the appliance before the crew can collect it.
Dirt, sod, bricks, rocks, tires and hazardous waste such as oil, paint and batteries are refused at the curb by name, and logs, tree trunks and tree stumps are not collected either, with trunks and stumps taken to the Recycling Center cut to firewood size instead. Paper bags, bushel baskets and filled boxes are not collected or emptied. Latex paint is the one paint that can go out, and only after it is dried out or solidified, with the lid off, beside the regular garbage.
The yard is for bona fide Warren residents only, with proof of residency such as a driver's licence, and it expects a personal vehicle: commercial type vehicles and panel vans are turned away and contractors are not eligible to use the facility for any material. Yard personnel judge every questionable load, so what is accepted can vary from visit to visit, and there is no assistance to unload, because it is the resident's responsibility to place material into the proper containers.
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.
Set oversized items out with the weekly collection
A Warren household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another item too large for the cart.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the weekly city collection at no separate bulky item charge, because the city guideline places oversized items beside the rubbish containers and publishes no fee for them.
Arrange it
Set the item neatly next to the rubbish containers on your regular collection day by 6 a.m., keeping three feet of clearance around the carts and the compost pile five feet away.
The list is item specific, so electronics, tires, dirt, sod, bricks and rocks are refused even when they are oversized, an air conditioner or dehumidifier needs licensed freon removal with a sticker before pickup, and a mattress with bed bugs has to be wrapped in plastic.
A household with furniture, an appliance, a computer or television, scrap metal, motor oil, antifreeze or a small amount of building material to drop off.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to bona fide Warren residents with proof of residency, arriving in a personal vehicle; contractors are not eligible and commercial vehicles and panel vans are turned away.
Arrange it
Drive the load to the yard on Flanders between Schoenherr and Groesbeck during its published hours, Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon, and unload it yourself.
Yard personnel judge every questionable load, the yard refuses tree stumps, hazardous waste, shingles and large amounts of building material, tires are not on the accept list, and the address and weekday start time differ between the city page and the 2026 recycling handout, so confirm the house number before a first trip.
A household that fills its trash or compost cart most weeks and would rather have more capacity than more trips to the curb.
Cost & conditions
$60 per additional trash, recycling or compost cart, charged at cost recovery only. Available to an eligible residence receiving city curbside service, ordered through the Sanitation Department and paid by cash or check because the office does not accept cards.
Arrange it
Request the cart from the Sanitation Department, either for delivery or collection at the office, and expect a delivery window of roughly three to ten business days depending on volume and weather.
Carts stay city property and are assigned to the service address, the first cart of each kind is issued free, and a resident pays for replacement when a previously issued cart is lost, stolen or damaged through misuse.
A household holding oil based paint, solvents, gasoline, antifreeze, batteries, mercury items, fluorescent tubes or medications.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Macomb County households at the county's monthly drop-offs, which require an appointment and refuse business waste, and free to residents at the city drop-off day; quantities can be limited at the collection.
Arrange it
Call the Macomb County hotline on 586-466-7923 for the next appointment, or use the city day the brochure describes on the Saturday after Labor Day at the Recycling Center from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Latex paint is refused at both routes and has to be dried out for the regular trash, business and contractor waste is not accepted, and the brochure that describes the city day is an older document, so confirm the current date and list on the hotline.

Can latex paint go in the trash in Warren?+
