City collection Flint allows a small amount of bulky household material at the curb on the regular collection day, and upholstered pieces fit that route when they are kept within the weekly limit. No charge. Residential curbside address in the City of Flint that pays the city waste collection fee; the city allows up to three bulk items per week and states that no special pickup request is needed.
City collection Flint runs no separate mattress program and publishes no item list for its three-item bulk allowance, so ask Priority Waste whether a mattress is accepted at the curb before setting one out. The city publishes a three-item weekly bulk allowance but no item-by-item list, so confirm with Priority Waste whether a mattress counts toward it. A fee-based specialist named by the county takes mattresses if the curbside route will not.
City collection A washer or dryer is mostly metal. The county list names a yard that takes appliances and charges for units that still hold refrigerant, plus donation outlets for working machines. The city does not publish an item-by-item bulky list. Scrap yards and processors set their own rates, and a rebate program for clean, working appliances is administered by the utility, so confirm the destination and price before the load leaves the house.
City collection Flint runs a standing bulk allowance instead of a scheduled collection: a household can put out up to three bulk items and 20 bags each week with no special request. No charge. Residential curbside address paying the city waste collection fee; the waste collection fee covers the weekly route, and the city publishes no separate per-item bulk charge.

Will the city take it?
Priority Waste collects Flint trash, recycling and yard waste on one weekday route, and the city allows a small amount of bulky material at the curb without a special request. Metal, tires and refrigerant appliances are the exceptions, because the usable destination is a scrap yard or a registered tire processor rather than the cart.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential curbside address in the City of Flint that pays the city waste collection fee; the city allows up to three bulk items per week and states that no special pickup request is needed.
When & how
Put the item out on your regular collection day. Trash, recycling and yard waste all run on that day, and a holiday that falls on or after the service day moves the week one business day later.
Get it ready
Keep the piece dry and reachable from the roadway, and remove loose cushions, glass and anything that could blow into the street. Confirm with Priority Waste before setting out a piece that is unusually heavy or longer than a normal truck bed.
Flint runs no separate mattress program and publishes no item list for its three-item bulk allowance, so ask Priority Waste whether a mattress is accepted at the curb before setting one out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes a three-item weekly bulk allowance but no item-by-item list, so confirm with Priority Waste whether a mattress counts toward it. A fee-based specialist named by the county takes mattresses if the curbside route will not.
When & how
Set it out on the regular collection day, keeping the total at three bulk items or fewer.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress covered and dry, and keep it off the sidewalk and out of the roadway travel lane. A specialist recycler that takes mattresses, couches and bed frames for a fee is listed by the county if the curbside route will not work.
A washer or dryer is mostly metal. The county list names a yard that takes appliances and charges for units that still hold refrigerant, plus donation outlets for working machines. The city does not publish an item-by-item bulky list.
City cost & eligibility
Scrap yards and processors set their own rates, and a rebate program for clean, working appliances is administered by the utility, so confirm the destination and price before the load leaves the house.
When & how
Call the receiving yard or outlet before you load, because drop-off windows and appliance limits are set by each business.
Get it ready
Keep the unit whole and free of water, and say whether it still runs. A working unit can be donated, while a non-working unit goes to a yard that buys metal.
Flint runs a standing bulk allowance instead of a scheduled collection: a household can put out up to three bulk items and 20 bags each week with no special request.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential curbside address paying the city waste collection fee; the waste collection fee covers the weekly route, and the city publishes no separate per-item bulk charge.
When & how
Use your regular collection day. Put carts and items at the curb after 7 p.m. the night before or no later than 6 a.m. on collection day.
Get it ready
Bag all garbage before it goes in the gray cart, and leave extra bagged trash beside the cart. Keep carts about three feet apart and clear of mailboxes, posts and parked cars.
Yard waste is collected weekly from April 1 through November 30 under the city Bag It program, in paper bags or small cans kept away from the trash carts.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential curbside address paying the city waste collection fee, with grass clippings, leaves and small branches within the program limits.
When & how
Put yard waste out by 7 a.m. on your regular collection day, at least 10 feet from the trash carts, during the April 1 through November 30 season.
Get it ready
Use paper bags or cans no larger than 40 gallons that weigh less than 50 pounds, and keep the set-out to 20 bags. Do not rake or blow yard waste into the street or a storm drain. The city also offers free paper bags at three locations while supplies last.
Whole tires cannot go to a Michigan landfill and are not part of the household cart route. A registered scrap tire processor in Flint takes walk-in drop-offs.
City cost & eligibility
The processor publishes no per-tire price, so confirm the charge and the current drop-off window before you load the vehicle.
When & how
The Flint processor accepts walk-in drop-offs Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call ahead for more than 50 tires or for heavy equipment tires.
Get it ready
Keep tires dry and out of the recycling cart. A yard that buys metal does not necessarily take tires, so use a processor registered for scrap tires.
The city keeps scrap metal out of the recycling cart and points residents to a scrap metal recycler, and several yards in and near Flint buy metal.
City cost & eligibility
Scrap yards buy material at their own posted rates and each sets its own preparation rules, so confirm the price and the accepted grade before you load.
When & how
Take material to a yard during its published hours, and call first because the county list does not publish hours for every yard.
Get it ready
Separate ferrous from non-ferrous metal where you can, remove liquids and loose attachments, and keep tires, hazardous waste and household refuse out of the load.
Up to three bulk items and 20 bags can go out on your regular collection day, and Flint does not require a special pickup request. Put carts and items at the curb after 7 p.m. the night before or before 6 a.m. on collection day, within about three feet of the curb and three feet apart from each other. Bag all garbage before it goes in the gray cart, and leave extra bagged trash beside the cart.
Keep yard waste separate for the Bag It collection
Yard waste runs on the same collection day as trash during the April 1 through November 30 season, but a separate truck picks it up. Put it at the curb by 7 a.m. and at least 10 feet from the trash carts, and never rake or blow it into the street or a storm drain.
Keep tires and restricted material out of the carts
Tires, batteries, electronics, and hoses, cords and wires do not belong in either cart. Whole tires go to a registered scrap tire processor, scrap metal goes to a yard that buys metal, and batteries and electronics use a retailer or county drop-off instead.
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.
Metal-heavy loads, vehicle parts and non-ferrous scrap
Cost & conditions
The yard buys material at its own rates, so confirm current pricing and preparation requirements before you load.
Arrange it
Load the vehicle and drive the material to the yard during its published hours. The county list places the yard at 3502 North Dort Highway in Flint.
Scrap metal, vehicles, alternators, starters and vehicle batteries are the materials the county list names for this yard, so confirm anything outside that list first.
A per-tire price is not published, so confirm the charge with the processor before you load.
Arrange it
Walk-in drop-offs are accepted Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 6515 Dort Highway. Call ahead if you have more than 50 tires or heavy equipment tires.
The processor handles scrap tires only. It is a registered processor and hauler, so it is the accepted destination for tires that cannot be landfilled whole.
Washers, dryers and other appliances that still run
Cost & conditions
The county list marks no charge for the two thrift outlets and states that the utility program pays a rebate for clean, working appliances, so confirm intake hours and any fee with the outlet you choose.
Arrange it
Two thrift outlets on the county list take large appliances, one on North Belsay Road in Burton and the Habitat ReStore on Burton Street in Flint. The utility program on East Court Street collects clean, working appliances.
Appliances must be in good working order, and the ReStore listing limits appliances to units made within the last 15 years.
If you would rather not set an item out, Flint residents have county-listed drop-off routes for the awkward material. Scrap metal, appliances and vehicle parts go to yards on and near Dort Highway, and tires go to a registered scrap tire processor on Dort Highway. Mattresses and upholstered furniture do not have a free municipal drop-off, so the county list points to a fee-based specialist, while working appliances can go to a thrift outlet instead.
