Got Yard Waste?
Collection Resumes in April

Yard waste collection in the RRRASOC member communities of Farmington, Farmington Hills, Milford, Milford Township, Novi, South Lyon, Southfield, Walled Lake and Wixom runs from the first week of April through November and is collected curbside on your regularly scheduled garbage collection day.

Earth Day is April 22, 2017!

This year's Earth Day campaign is about environmental and climate literacy and building a global citizenry knowledgeable about climate change and the impacts to our planet. 

Read more about the March for Science, a rally and teach-in taking place at the National Mall in D.C. on Earth Day. 

Take personal action to help our environment by creating your own act of green, doing something good for the planet that is of importance to you. 

Calculate the impact you have on the planet and learn how you can reduce your footprint by taking the Ecological Footprint Quiz.  H umans are consuming natural resources at an alarming rate. For the past couple of decades, we have consumed more resources annually than the Earth can replenish. An ecological footprint measures the demand on and supply of nature required to support a population's lifestyle and all that it consumes as well as nature's ability to absorb the corresponding waste including carbon emissions.
