Compost Pickup
Published on Mar 19, 2021 10:47

Compost/yard waste curbside pickup will begin on April 1 in the City of Plymouth.

Compost must be placed in a brown Kraft lawn refuse bag or a can marked for compost.  Compost can may be marked with an “X” or identified with a “compost” sticker available at the Municipal Services office, located at 1231 Goldsmith. Compost includes grass clippings, leaves, branches, and yard debris.  Compost does not include sod, dirt, rocks, dog excrement, or potted plants. 

To ensure pickup, place compost bags and/or cans designated for compost as close to the curb or roadside as possible.  Place the bags and/or cans so that they have three feet of clearance from parked cars, mailboxes, other carts, and other street hazards or amenities. Ensure the lid can close – overfilled carts may be too heavy or may lose contents when serviced. 

If your compost was missed, please call our office as soon as you notice at 734-453-7737 ext. 0.  Complete information about our solid waste service is available on our website at www.plymouthmi.gov.
