City collection Furniture moves on the regular route as a bulk item, which means it counts against the weekly allowance of two items rather than needing its own appointment. No charge. Dearborn Heights residential addresses on the city collection routes, with the furniture counted inside the two item weekly bulk allowance.
City collection Neither the city nor the hauler publishes a mattress specific rule, so a mattress or box spring should be treated as a bulk item inside the two item weekly allowance until the hauler confirms otherwise. No mattress fee is published for Dearborn Heights. Bulk material is included up to two items per week or eight bags with anything additional assessed and billed, so confirm with the hauler whether a mattress counts as one of those items and whether any extra charge applies before it goes out.
City collection Dearborn Heights publishes no appliance collection rule, and the county hazardous waste events explicitly exclude appliances, so a refrigerator or freezer needs its route confirmed before it goes to the curb. No appliance rate is published for the city route, and Wayne County's household hazardous waste collection states that appliances are not accepted there. Confirm with the hauler how a refrigerator, freezer or other cooling appliance should be handled before setting one out.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Dearborn Heights collects trash, recycling and yard waste on the same service day through its contracted hauler, Priority Waste, and yard waste runs as a seasonal program rather than a year round one. The 2026 compost season opens on April 6 and closes December 11. Carts have to sit between the sidewalk and the street with the lid closed, and anything over the included weekly amount is assessed and billed rather than refused. Electronics have their own route through Wayne County collections, which accept old computers and televisions but not appliances.
Dearborn Heights runs yard waste as a seasonal compost program on the regular service day, with a weekly allowance of eight units per household.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Dearborn Heights residential addresses on the city collection routes, with material prepared as the hauler requires and set out during the published compost season.
When & how
The city lists the 2026 yard waste season as starting April 6 and ending December 11, while the hauler prints the compost period as March 30 through December 11, so expect collection to open at the start of April and close in the second week of December. Yard waste is picked up on the same day as trash and recycling.
Get it ready
Use a can no larger than 35 gallons with a compost label, compost bags, or bundles, and keep the total to eight units a week. Keep the load loose enough for one crew to lift, and do not put yard waste in the recycling cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Dearborn Heights residential addresses on the city collection routes, for up to two bulk items per week or eight bags. Larger volumes are assessed by the hauler and billed to the resident rather than being included.
When & how
Put bulk items out with the regular collection. The city also notes that its hauler allows a few additional bags on the ground for the bulk truck to take, so keep the extra set modest and clearly separate from the carts.
Get it ready
Keep bulk items off the street and clear of the carts. Trash cart lids have to close for the automated arm to empty them, and overflowing carts are not collected, so overflow belongs in the bulk allowance of bags rather than on top of the cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Dearborn Heights residential addresses on the city collection routes, with the furniture counted inside the two item weekly bulk allowance.
When & how
Set the furniture out on the regular collection day, inside the allowed set-out window, and keep it clear of the carts and the street.
Get it ready
Empty every drawer and remove glass tops, mirrors and loose cushions before the piece goes out. Keep upholstered furniture dry and reachable from the curb so one crew can load it.

City cost & eligibility

When & how
Call Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 before setting a mattress out so it is collected with the bulk allowance rather than left behind.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and free of bedding. Wrap it if you want the size contained for the crew, and keep it flat rather than leaning against a cart.
Dearborn Heights publishes no appliance collection rule, and the county hazardous waste events explicitly exclude appliances, so a refrigerator or freezer needs its route confirmed before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance rate is published for the city route, and Wayne County's household hazardous waste collection states that appliances are not accepted there. Confirm with the hauler how a refrigerator, freezer or other cooling appliance should be handled before setting one out.
When & how
Call the hauler at 586-228-1200 first. Anything that still holds refrigerant can need different handling from a standard bulk item.
Get it ready
Remove the door from any appliance that seals shut, drain and dry anything that held water, and keep the unit upright. Do not put a cooling appliance out with the compost or recycling carts.
Old electronics go to Wayne County's household hazardous waste collections, which accept computers, printers, scanners, televisions and cathode ray tubes for recycling from county residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Wayne County residents bringing household generated material to a county collection. Only household products are accepted, and businesses and commercial loads are excluded. The county publishes no fee for the collections.
When & how
The county hosts four collections a year and posts the schedule on its site. The city listed the 2026 dates as April 11 at Melvindale High School, June 27 at Henry Ford College in Dearborn, August 29 at Westland Shopping Center and October 10 at Wayne County Community College in Taylor, each running 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep televisions and monitors upright and unbroken for the drive. Household trash, ammunition, explosives, drums, radioactive material and unlabeled waste are not accepted, so separate the electronics from anything else in the load.
Carts go between the sidewalk and the street, either in the apron or on the grass, and never in the street. The lid has to close for the automated arm to empty the cart, and an overflowing cart will not be collected.
Trash and recycling carts may go to the curb at 6 p.m. the evening before service, and collection runs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Keep service trucks from being blocked by parked cars on collection day.
Yard waste goes out in a labeled can up to 35 gallons, in compost bags, or in bundles, with up to eight units accepted each week during the season, which the hauler prints as March 30 through December 11.
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.

Wayne County collections and voucher program
Wayne County households with electronics, batteries, bulbs, paints, lawn chemicals, automotive fluids or other household chemicals that should not go in the trash.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Wayne County residents bringing household generated products to a county collection. Commercial and industrial waste is excluded, and the county publishes no fee for the events.
Arrange it
The county hosts four collections a year at rotating sites and also runs a voucher program that lets residents use its contractor site five days a week. Vouchers are picked up at 3600 Commerce Court, Building E, Wayne, Michigan, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., on a first come, first serve basis.
Only household products from Wayne County residents are accepted. Appliances, household trash, ammunition, explosives, drums, radioactive material and unlabeled waste are refused, so cooling appliances need a different route.
Dearborn Heights residents mostly work inside the curbside system. Yard waste goes out as compost during the published season with a limit of eight units a week, and bulky household items go out with the regular route inside a weekly allowance of two items or eight bags before the hauler starts assessing extra charges. The material that cannot ride the truck is electronics and household chemicals, which Wayne County collects four times a year at rotating sites and also accepts through its voucher program at its contractor's site during the week. Appliances are the awkward middle case, because the county explicitly refuses them and the city publishes no appliance rule, so confirm the route with the hauler before a refrigerator or freezer leaves the house.
