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.
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.
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.
