EAST LANSING, Mich. — The City of East Lansing has made adjustments to its Spring yard waste and bulk item collection.
The city said following a successful first round of no-fee yard waste collection on the city's east and west sides for the past two weeks, the Department of Public Works plans to provide a second round of the no-fee yard waste collection in a similar way.
The city said it also plans to offer one week of bulk item collection next week in order to accommodate spring move-out and residents in need.
The city said to keep the upcoming dates in mind:
-Monday, May 4 – Bulk item collection offered throughout the week (see guidelines below); no yard waste collection this week
-Monday, May 11 - No-fee yard waste collection offered on the City’s east side (homes east of Abbot Road)
-Monday, May 18 - No-fee yard waste collection offered on City’s west side (homes west of Abbot Road)
-Monday, May 25 – Memorial Day; no yard waste or bulk item collection this week
-Monday, June 1 – Regular yard waste and bulk item collection services to resume if City offices have re-opened to the public (to accommodate sale of bags/stickers)
The city said to avoid fines, community members are asked to not leave items at the curb without first making a request and providing payment. The city said there is a $20 fee for each bulk item and a $42 fee for items containing Freon.
Bulk items include furniture, appliances, carpet, mattresses and any other items that weigh over 40 pounds.
