YARD WASTE SERVICEIS WEEKLY IN EACH ZONE STARTING IN MARCH AND RUNNING THROUGH THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER. Note: The City does not provide pickup services for apartment complexes.

State law prohibits yard waste going into landfills. City of Tecumseh residents can put out yard waste for pickup on their regular pickup day from March through the second week in December for composting at a state-authorized site. This includes leaves, grass clippings, garden waste and shrub trimmings.

BRUSH AND TREE TRIMMINGS Branches no more than 4 inches in diameter. They must be cut no more than 4 feet long, and tied in bundles no more that 1 foot in diameter and no heavier than 50 lbs. Leave bundles at curbside for pickup.

WHY RECYCLE?Recycling is one important way

of saving natural resources and protecting our environment.

Recycled items are reused to make new items, so fewer raw materials are consumed.

Recycling saves landfill space and thus helps keep costs down because today’s modern sanitary landfills are very expensive to build.

DID YOU KNOW...Recycled glass is made into

new glass and reflective traffic signs.

Recycled metal cans are made into new cans.

Recycled paper is made into new paper, cardboard boxes, newsprint, insulation products and roofing material.

Recycled plastic containers are made into carpet, fiberfill for pillows and coats, woven fabric, a lumber substitute, appliance handles, packaging and new plastic bottles.
