We provide the following spring and fall cleanup program and
fall leaf collection programs:
- Spring Cleanup: Conducted yearly with the spring collection
period the first week of May.
- Fall leaf collection:
A seasonal service conducted by the Street
Division with the leaves stored
at a compost site until decomposition is
complete and then the material is used by all
departments
city wide for landscape purposes as topsoil.
All leaf pickup will be finalized on November 30, 2010. If you have leaves after this date, they must be bagged and taken to the Department of Public Works Building located at 217 Bentley Street. Questions in this regard can be answered at 810-664-4711.

Tree Removal
Tree removals within the
right of way of a street are the responsibility of our Street Division.
When is a tree removed? Before
a tree is removed as part of our tree removal
schedule or at a homeowner’s request, an arborist
reviews the tree to confirm the need for removal.
A site review is also conducted for a replant.
