During the holidays trash and recyclable materials can accumulate quickly. Below are tips to insure your trash and recycling are collected.
Trash may not exceed the top rim of the can. If your can has a lid, it must be secure.
All extra trash must be individually tagged with a City refuse tag or placed in a City refuse bag.
Please do not place your cans in the street. For street-side collection, cans should be placed at the edge of your driveway or just behind the curb.
Please make sure all cardboard is flattened and no larger than 2’ x 3’.
Extra recyclables should be placed in a weatherproof container, such as a laundry basket, extra recycle bin, etc. Trash bags should not be used for recycling.
If you have questions, please contact the Division of Public Works at (989) 779-5401. Thank you for your cooperation, and have a wonderful holiday season.
City of Mt. Pleasant Street Department staff will be picking up discarded Christmas trees from January 3-14, 2022. This curbside collection can be utilized by attaching two refuse tags to the tree for a total cost of $6.30. Individual tags are available at GreenTree Grocery. Multiple tags can be purchased at Meijer, Ric’s, and City Hall.
Trees are to be placed at the curb, even in areas where normal trash collection is in the alley. If you know you will be using this service, please call (989) 779-5401 or email publicworks@mt-pleasant.org with the date the tree will be curbside. All tinsel and plastic bags must be removed, and the trunk ends of the trees face the street. Evergreen wreaths will not be collected. After January 14 trees may be taken to the Materials Recovery Facility or disposed of through the City’s brush chipping program.
