Bin rules come from your city or the Mid-Michigan Waste Authority, not Saginaw County. Saginaw Township uses three separate carts; the City of Saginaw wants trash out by 7 a.m. and stored out of view between pickups.
Saginaw County sets no countywide bin rule. In the City of Saginaw, carts go to the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day and must be brought back and stored out of public view between pickups under the city's property-maintenance code. Saginaw Township and other Mid-Michigan Waste Authority communities require three separate containers — one each for trash, recyclables and yard waste — because a different truck collects each. Place carts clear of parked cars, mailboxes and utility poles so the separate trucks can reach them.
Improperly placed carts may be skipped. Leaving bins at the curb or in view between pickups can draw a city property-maintenance citation, typically $25 to $100 after a warning.
