City collection Furniture is accepted at the city's annual Community Cleanup Day, while a weekly curbside pickup depends on the hauler a household hires, because Kentwood has no citywide refuse collection. The city publishes no rate for the Community Cleanup Day and no rate for a hauler pickup, and the weekly rules differ between the licensed haulers a household can choose, so confirm the next cleanup date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm the hauler's charge before setting furniture out.
City collection Mattresses are named among the large items the cleanup day hauler accepts, and any weekly curbside mattress pickup depends on the hauler the household contracts with. Neither the cleanup day nor a hauler pickup publishes a price for a mattress, so confirm the next event date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm the hauler's charge if the household would rather put the mattress out weekly.
City collection Kentwood does not name appliances or publish a refrigerator rule, so an appliance has to be confirmed with the household's hauler or with public works rather than assumed. The city publishes no appliance rule and no rate, and the cleanup day description names general debris, trash, furniture and mattresses rather than white goods, so the route and the charge have to be confirmed with the hauler or with public works at 616.554.0817 before an appliance is moved.
City collection The city's own route for a bulky load is the annual Community Cleanup Day, and a weekly curbside pickup depends on the hauler the household hires on the day the city authorises for its area. The city publishes no rate for the cleanup day and no rate for a hauler pickup, and each licensed hauler sets its own terms, so confirm the next event date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm the hauler's bulk item charge when the weekly route is arranged.

Will the city take it?
Kentwood does not run a citywide refuse collection. A household chooses a licensed private hauler, and the city publishes a refuse collection areas map that fixes the authorised pickup days of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday by neighbourhood. That means the weekly rules for large items, appliances and extra material come from the hauler a household hires, and three of them are listed on the city's resident resources page: Arrowaste, Republic Services and Waste Management. What the city does run is its own material programming. An annual Community Cleanup Day brings GFL Environmental to the public works yard to take general debris and trash including furniture and mattresses, while the city collects electronic waste such as televisions, computers, mobile phones and fax machines on the same day and takes yard waste at the brush drop-off site. The seasonal brush and leaf site reopens each fall for residents only, and household chemicals go to the Kent County SafeChem drop-off that runs at the Kentwood public works yard on Tuesdays.
Furniture is accepted at the city's annual Community Cleanup Day, while a weekly curbside pickup depends on the hauler a household hires, because Kentwood has no citywide refuse collection.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for the Community Cleanup Day and no rate for a hauler pickup, and the weekly rules differ between the licensed haulers a household can choose, so confirm the next cleanup date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm the hauler's charge before setting furniture out.
When & how
Watch for the next Community Cleanup Day and take the furniture to the Kentwood Department of Public Works at 5068 Breton Ave. SE during the published window, which ran from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in 2026.
Get it ready
Take cushions, drawers and glass tops off so the piece can be handled, and bring identification because staff check residency at the entrance off Breton Avenue and the event is for Kentwood residents only.
Mattresses are named among the large items the cleanup day hauler accepts, and any weekly curbside mattress pickup depends on the hauler the household contracts with.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the cleanup day nor a hauler pickup publishes a price for a mattress, so confirm the next event date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm the hauler's charge if the household would rather put the mattress out weekly.
When & how
Take the mattress to the Kentwood Department of Public Works at 5068 Breton Ave. SE on the next Community Cleanup Day between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., or ask the household's hauler whether a mattress counts as a bulk item on the weekly route.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and bag it in wet weather, take the frame and headboard off because they are separate pieces, and bring identification for the residency check at the entrance.
Kentwood does not name appliances or publish a refrigerator rule, so an appliance has to be confirmed with the household's hauler or with public works rather than assumed.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no appliance rule and no rate, and the cleanup day description names general debris, trash, furniture and mattresses rather than white goods, so the route and the charge have to be confirmed with the hauler or with public works at 616.554.0817 before an appliance is moved.
When & how
Call the household's hauler first, or public works at 616.554.0817, to ask where an appliance can go and whether the cleanup day will take it, and ask about refrigerant handling before a refrigerator or freezer leaves the house.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, secure or remove the doors, and keep a cooling appliance out of any pile until the route and the refrigerant handling have been confirmed in writing by whoever will take it.
Household chemicals do not go in a cart, a bulk pile, the cleanup day or the brush and leaf site: the city points residents to the Kent County SafeChem programme, which runs at the Kentwood public works facility on Tuesdays and whose accepted list is held by the county.
City cost & eligibility
The City names the Kent County SafeChem programme and its Tuesday window at the Kentwood public works facility but publishes no fee and no accepted-items list, so confirm the accepted items and any charge with public works at 616.554.0817 before the trip.
When & how
Take the material to the Kentwood public works facility on a Tuesday between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., which is the window the city names for the SafeChem programme at its own yard.
Get it ready
Keep paint, solvents, cleaners, fuels and other household chemicals out of the garbage cart, the cleanup pile and the yard waste site, keep each product in its original container without mixing, and confirm the accepted list and any charge with public works at 616.554.0817 before the Tuesday trip.
The city collects televisions as electronic waste at the annual Community Cleanup Day, which is the clearest city route for a set.
City cost & eligibility
The City describes the cleanup day electronics collection but publishes no fee and no next event date, so confirm the next Community Cleanup Day date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm any charge before loading the vehicle.
When & how
Take the television to the Kentwood Department of Public Works at 5068 Breton Ave. SE on the next Community Cleanup Day, which ran from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in 2026, and bring identification because the event is for Kentwood residents only.
Get it ready
Keep the screen whole and dry and wipe anything that stores data. Smoke alarms are handled differently: they are not accepted for recycling at the event but can be disposed of there, so keep them separate from the electronics.
The city recycles computers, mobile phones and fax machines at the annual Community Cleanup Day, and the public works page points to Kent County for wider recycling questions.
City cost & eligibility
The City publishes no fee for the electronics collection and no next event date, so confirm the next Community Cleanup Day with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm any charge before the trip.
When & how
Take the devices to the Kentwood Department of Public Works at 5068 Breton Ave. SE on the next Community Cleanup Day, or ask public works about the Kent County recycling guide it links for anything the city collection does not cover.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from computers and phones, keep power supplies and cables with the device, and bring identification for the residency check at the event entrance.
The city brush and leaf site refuses construction material, and the cleanup day description names debris and trash rather than construction loads, so remodeling material has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
Kentwood publishes no construction debris rule or rate. The brush and leaf drop-off refuses rocks, pavers and construction materials, and the cleanup day names general debris and trash, so confirm with public works at 616.554.0817 and with the household's hauler what a project load may contain and what it costs.
When & how
Call public works at 616.554.0817 and the household's hauler before a project load is moved, and keep construction material out of the brush and leaf drop-off, which is for natural yard material only.
Get it ready
Separate natural yard material, which can go to the brush and leaf site, from board, tile, concrete and fixtures, and do not leave construction material at the kerb expecting a municipal collection that Kentwood does not run.
Kentwood does not name a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so exercise equipment stays a confirm instruction rather than an assumed bulky item.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment appears on no Kentwood list and the City publishes no rate, so the route and the charge both have to be confirmed with the household's licensed hauler or with public works at 616.554.0817.
When & how
Ask the household's hauler whether the machine counts as a bulk item, or call public works at 616.554.0817 to ask whether the next Community Cleanup Day will take it.
Get it ready
Strip the console and any loose weights so the frame is as light as possible, fold the deck where the manufacturer allows it, and keep the machine off the pavement until the route is confirmed.
The city's own route for a bulky load is the annual Community Cleanup Day, and a weekly curbside pickup depends on the hauler the household hires on the day the city authorises for its area.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for the cleanup day and no rate for a hauler pickup, and each licensed hauler sets its own terms, so confirm the next event date with public works at 616.554.0817 and confirm the hauler's bulk item charge when the weekly route is arranged.
When & how
Take the load to the Kentwood Department of Public Works at 5068 Breton Ave. SE on the next Community Cleanup Day, which ran from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in 2026, or arrange a pickup with the household's hauler for the collection day the city map authorises for the area.
Get it ready
Bring identification because the cleanup day is limited to Kentwood residents and staff check residency at the entrance off Breton Avenue, keep yard waste separate from general debris so it can go to the brush drop-off site first, and keep tires, donation items and household hazardous material out of the load because the cleanup day does not accept them.
Your hauler runs the weekly route, the city fixes the day
Kentwood does not collect refuse itself. A household picks a licensed private hauler, and the city's resident resources page lists Arrowaste, Republic Services and Waste Management as the companies to call. The city publishes a refuse collection areas map that sets the authorised pickup day for each neighbourhood, and the map legend shows those days as Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Weekly cart rules, extra bag charges and bulk item terms therefore come from the hauler the household hires, and nothing about them is the same across the city.
The Community Cleanup Day is the city programme for large household material. Residents drop off yard waste, trash and general debris for disposal and electronics for recycling from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Kentwood Department of Public Works, 5068 Breton Ave. SE. A hauler is on site to take general debris and trash including large items such as furniture and mattresses, and the city collects electronic waste such as televisions, mobile phones, computers and fax machines. Yard waste goes to the brush drop-off site first, tires are not accepted, and donation items and household hazardous material are refused. Staff check identification for residency at the entrance off Breton Avenue, and questions go to public works at 616.554.0817.
Yard material and household chemicals have their own seasons
The seasonal yard waste site was closed when this packet was researched and was due to reopen for the fall season beginning October 10, 2026, so yard material waits for the opening date. When open it takes leaves, grass clippings, brush, untreated wood, sticks, logs and woodchips, bagged material has to be emptied on arrival with the bags taken away, and rocks, pavers and construction materials are refused. The service is for Kentwood residents only with proof of residency required. Household chemicals do not go to the yard waste site at all: the city public works page and the cleanup page both point to the Kent County SafeChem programme, which runs at the Kentwood public works facility on Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
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.
A Kentwood household that wants carts collected every week, including large items, on the authorised day for its neighbourhood.
Cost & conditions
Kentwood has no citywide refuse collection and publishes no hauler rate, so the price, the cart sizes, the extra bag charges and any bulk item fee come from the hauler the household hires. The city's resident resources page names Arrowaste at 616.748.1955, Republic Services at 877.698.7274 and Waste Management at 800.796.9696.
Arrange it
Call one of the licensed haulers, check the city refuse collection areas map for the authorised pickup day in the neighbourhood, and confirm the cart sizes, the extra material charges and the bulk item terms before signing up.
The city sets only the collection days, so the item rules and the charges vary by company and have to come from the hauler rather than from the city.
City of Kentwood public works programmes with licensed private refuse haulers
Take the load to Community Cleanup Day
A Kentwood household with general debris, trash, furniture, mattresses, electronics or yard waste that it would rather haul to the city than put out weekly.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the cleanup day location, hours and accepted material but no fee and no next date beyond the past year's event, so confirm the next date and any charge with public works at 616.554.0817 before loading.
Arrange it
Watch for the next Community Cleanup Day, then bring the load to the Kentwood Department of Public Works at 5068 Breton Ave. SE during the published window, which ran from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in 2026, and bring identification for the residency check at the entrance off Breton Avenue.
One day a year, Kentwood residents only, with tires, donation items and household hazardous material all refused. Yard waste has to be dropped off first at the brush site, and smoke alarms are not recycled with the electronics even though they can be disposed of at the event.
City of Kentwood public works programmes with licensed private refuse haulers
Use the seasonal brush and leaf drop-off
A Kentwood household with leaves, grass clippings, brush, untreated wood, sticks, logs or woodchips to get rid of between the seasonal opening dates.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the material rules and the opening date for the seasonal yard waste site but no fee and no site address, so confirm the location, the opening hours and any charge with public works at 616.554.0817 or ePublicWorks@kentwood.us before loading.
Arrange it
Wait for the site to reopen, which the city scheduled for the fall season beginning October 10, 2026, then bring the load during the site's published hours and empty any bags on arrival so the bags can be taken away separately.
Kentwood residents only with proof of residency required, natural yard material only, and no rocks, pavers or construction materials. The page does not publish the site address or its own opening hours.
City of Kentwood public works programmes with licensed private refuse haulers
Drop household chemicals at SafeChem
A Kentwood household holding household chemicals that the cleanup day refuses and that the county programme can take, with the accepted list to be confirmed with Kent County.
Cost & conditions
The City names the Kent County SafeChem programme and its Tuesday window at the Kentwood public works facility but publishes no fee and no accepted-items list, so confirm the accepted items and any charge with public works at 616.554.0817 before the trip.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Kentwood public works facility on a Tuesday between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., which is the window the city names for the SafeChem programme at its own yard.
Household hazardous material is refused at the cleanup day and at the brush and leaf site, and the county programme runs on one weekday window rather than on demand, with its accepted list held by Kent County rather than by the city.
City public works yard used for the cleanup day, the chemical drop-off and yard waste intake
Kentwood Department of Public Works
5068 Breton Ave. SE, Kentwood, MI
On Community Cleanup Day, general debris and trash taken by the on-site hauler including large items such as furniture and mattresses, plus electronic waste collected by the city including televisions, mobile phones, computers and fax machines, and yard waste routed to the brush drop-off site. The same yard hosts the Kent County SafeChem household chemical drop-off on Tuesdays.
Tires, donation items and household hazardous material are refused on cleanup day, smoke alarms are not recycled with the electronics although they can be disposed of at the event, and the cleanup day and the drop-off services are for Kentwood residents only with identification checked at the entrance off Breton Avenue.
Community Cleanup Day ran from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the announced Saturday; the SafeChem window at the same yard is Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; the public works office answers from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday at 616.554.0817.
The City publishes no fee for the cleanup day, the electronics collection or the SafeChem drop-off at this yard, and it does not publish the next cleanup date, so confirm both the date and any charge with public works at 616.554.0817.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How does a couch leave a Kentwood home?+
The surest city route is the annual Community Cleanup Day, where GFL Environmental takes general debris and trash including large items such as furniture and mattresses at the public works yard on Breton Avenue. Kentwood has no citywide refuse collection, so a household that wants a weekly pickup has to arrange it with the licensed hauler it hires, and the city publishes only the authorised collection days by area rather than the item rules.Official guidance
Where can a mattress go in Kentwood?+
The city names mattresses among the large items its cleanup day hauler accepts at the public works yard on Breton Avenue, so the annual Community Cleanup Day is the city route. Kentwood does not collect refuse itself, so a household that wants the mattress taken from the curb has to ask its own licensed hauler, and the city publishes the authorised collection days rather than the hauler's item rules.Official guidance
Will Kentwood take an old appliance?+
No City page says so. The cleanup day description names general debris, trash, furniture and mattresses rather than white goods, and Kentwood does not run refuse collection, so the appliance route has to come from the household's licensed hauler or from public works at 616.554.0817. Ask about refrigerant handling at the same time if the unit is a refrigerator or freezer.Official guidance
Where does a television go in Kentwood?+
To the city's electronics collection at the annual Community Cleanup Day, which the city runs at the Kentwood Department of Public Works on Breton Avenue and which names televisions, mobile phones, computers and fax machines among the electronic waste it recycles. The event is for Kentwood residents only with an identification check, smoke alarms are not recycled there but can be disposed of, and the city publishes no fee, so confirm the next date with public works at 616.554.0817.Official guidance
How does a Kentwood cleanout leave the house?+
Through the household's own hauler or through the city's annual Community Cleanup Day. Kentwood runs no citywide refuse collection, so weekly service, bulk items and extra material all depend on the licensed hauler the household hires, and the city map only fixes the authorised collection day for the neighbourhood. The cleanup day at the public works yard on Breton Avenue is the city's own route, with a hauler on site for furniture and mattresses and the city collecting electronics, but tires, donation items and household hazardous material are refused and the event is limited to Kentwood residents.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Kentwood?+
A private hauler the household hires. Kentwood does not run a citywide refuse collection, and the city's resident resources page lists Arrowaste, Republic Services and Waste Management as the companies residents can call. The city publishes a refuse collection areas map that fixes the authorised pickup day for each neighbourhood, with the legend showing Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so the pickup day comes from the city and the carts, charges and item rules come from the hauler.Official guidance
Is there a charge for the Kentwood cleanup day?+
The city does not publish a fee for the Community Cleanup Day, so the charge has to be confirmed with public works at 616.554.0817 along with the next event date, because the City has not published one. The day is limited to Kentwood residents with an identification check at the entrance off Breton Avenue, yard waste goes to the brush site first, and tires, donation items and household hazardous material are refused.Official guidance
What will the Kentwood cleanup day not take?+
Tires cannot be accepted at all, donation items and household hazardous material were not accepted at the advertised event, and smoke alarms are not recycled with the electronics although they can be disposed of there. Yard waste is routed to the brush drop-off site rather than the general debris line, and the brush and leaf site itself refuses rocks, pavers and construction materials because it takes natural yard material only.Official guidance
Where do Kentwood chemicals and yard waste go?+
Household chemicals go to the Kent County SafeChem programme, which the city says runs at the Kentwood public works facility on Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., because the cleanup day refuses hazardous material. Yard waste goes to the seasonal brush and leaf site, which was closed when this packet was written and was scheduled to reopen for the fall season beginning October 10, 2026, takes leaves, grass clippings, brush, untreated wood, sticks, logs and woodchips, and requires proof of Kentwood residency with bags emptied on arrival.Official guidance
