If residents want to set out more bulk items or trash cans than listed above, they will need to purchase additional bulk item or trash labels from City Hall or the Department of Public Works (DPW). Any items that contain Freon or refrigerant must have a label that can be purchased at City Hall or the Department of Public Works.
DPW is located at 14 West Forest, Ypsilanti 48197. The hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM until 4 PM. Tel: 734-483-1421. Appointment is required.
Please be sure the labels face the street.
Any additional bulk items or cans above the limits, or contain Freon, that do not have the labels will be rejected and subject to fines.
