Trash Containers. All garbage must be stored in a City of Ann Arbor approved trash cart.

Placement of Trash Containers. A resident may store trash containers:

• behind his or her unit next to the deck; or
• next to the porch if his or her end unit faces away from the street; or
• in front of his or her unit behind an approved trash cart enclosure installed by The Village staff [Cross-reference-"Storage," Rules 2 and 3].

Trash Cart Enclosures. Storage of permitted items behind this enclosure is intended for trash carts and recycling bins. Other items are permitted only if they do not extend beyond the enclosure and are not visible. [Cross-reference-"Storage," Rules 2 and 3].

Collection. Trash, compostables, and recycling collection begins at 7:00 AM on Tuesday. Trash and compostable containers and recycling bins may be set out at curbside either the evening before or by 7:00 AM on the day of collection.

Retrieval Of Containers. Trash containers and recycling bins must be retrieved by the evening of each trash collection day.
Trash Not picked up by City. Trash and/or recyclables, which are refused by city collectors, are to be retrieved by residents no later than the evening of the trash collection day and disposed of.
Disposal Of Large Items. The following procedures apply to disposal of large items (e.g., appliances, furniture) which are not picked up by the City during weekly trash collection:

• Residents (and not the Village) are responsible for the prompt disposal of such large items.
• Residents may recycle such items at no cost. The office staff will provide a listing of names and telephone numbers of charitable organizations and private individuals who may wish to pick up such items.
• The City Solid Waste Department (994-2807) schedules ‘special pick-ups’ for a fee.
• Private hauling contractors may be found in the Ameritech Yellow Pages under "Trucking-Light Hauling."
• After the resident has scheduled a pick-up, the Village should then be notified that the pick-up has been arranged. Items are to be placed at the curb on the actual date for which pick-up is scheduled (or the evening before the scheduled date). Any item remaining at the curb for more than twenty-four (24) hours will be considered abandoned. The Village will then dispose of the item and will assess a fine to the resident sufficient to reimburse the Village for disposal fees and associated administrative costs.

City Recycling Guides. Recycling Guides are published periodically by the City Of Ann Arbor. Residents should familiarize themselves with these requirements and are to comply with them. Questions may be directed to the Solid Waste Department (994-2807).
