LATEST CITY NEWS & UPDATES
Friendly reminder! As many of you are clearing your lawn of leaves, we want to remind you that the City does not pick up piles of leaves that are put into the street.

To dispose of leaves properly, you will need to put them into a brown bag and set out on your regularly scheduled refuse/yard waste collection day.

The last week to dispose of yard waste is Dec. 6-10.

Any leaves that fall naturally into the street may get picked up by the street sweepers, but the sweepers are not designed to pick up large piles.
As part of the American Rescue Plan Act, Sterling Heights will receive $19.8 million in federal funds that will help shape the future of our City!

We are calling on all residents, business owners and stakeholders to provide us with input through the survey below that showcases proposed projects.

You can find more info on the American Rescue Plan here.

Please note: If you have an idea for a project that you don't see on the survey, please add it to the open ended box at the end of the survey.
