As we begin the second business week following the June 25th & 26th rain and flood event, we want to thank all of our residents for your ongoing patience as our Public Works crews continue to focus on the collection of the massive volume of personal property and debris placed at the curb. Please note the following updates to the collection schedule:
RUBBISH COLLECTION
- Tuesday's rubbish routes are being collected today, and will be completed tomorrow, if necessary.
- We are anticipating the remaining rubbish routes to be on the normal one day holiday delay for the rest of this week.
- Friday's rubbish route will be picked up on Saturday, July 10th.
RECYCLING COLLECTION
-
Recycling collection is on regular schedule this week and will not be delayed due to the holiday.
- If you are on Monday or Tuesday's recycling routes your carts will be collected next week. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
- Recycling collection is provided by the City's contractor Green for Life (GFL).
YARD WASTE COLLECTION
- Delays in yard waste collection may continue until the initial flood clean-up efforts are completed. Please continue to refrain from placing yard waste at the curb until the first round of flood debris collection efforts are completed.
- The City will provide further updates on the resumption of yard waste collection as soon as possible.
Once again, the crew of the Public Works Department thanks you for the support they have received from our Grosse Pointe Farms family of residents. The outpouring of gratitude has made a difficult task far more manageable.
