City Solid Waste Program
The City's Solid Waste Program has now begun. Pick-up day for Shadow Woods is Tuesday. Yard waste pickup begins Tuesday, April 7, and will continue through November.
Residents are advised to place containers facing the street (wheels in back). If both trash and recycling containers are put out, there should be a distance of at least four feet between them. These requirements are necessitated by the pick-up devices on the trucks. There is only one person on each truck -- the driver. If containers are not properly placed, the driver has to get out and reposition the containers, which reduces efficiency.
Old Waste Management Containers
Waste Management is now advising former customers that it is no longer allowed to make residential pickups in Rochester Hills. Residents who still have an old Waste Management container should tape a piece of paper to the empty container with the word "TAKE" in large letters. The new City trash hauler should then pick it up, and we will all be relieved of the sight of these orphan containers.
