Yard debris removal prices in Flint

Contractor bag$69 / $20
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
