The City of Dearborn will collect yard waste in proper containers on trash days one last time the week of Dec. 10-14, but then the program for 2012 concludes until next year.

The curbside yard waste collection will resume the week of March 18, 2013.

Residents whose trash day is Monday, Dec. 10 should put out their final yard waste for pickup that day and the pattern will continue all week long,  ending for residents with trash days on Friday, who should put out their yard waste for pickup on Friday, Dec. 14

Note that the city’s Public Service Days program has already ended for the season, meaning trash day parking restrictions are lifted until April 1, 2013.

However, it is still a good idea to keep vehicles off the streets when possible on trash days, to allow for more efficient pickup even during the winter months, said Nick Siroskey, director, Dearborn Residential Services.
