Dearborn offers weekly bulk item pickup for residents with size and quantity limits, and excludes construction debris, tires, and hazardous materials.
Dearborn DPW provides weekly bulk collection for items such as furniture, mattresses, small appliances, and carpet alongside regular trash pickup. Bulk items should be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day, and each household is limited to a reasonable volume equivalent to roughly one pickup truck bed per week. Construction and demolition debris, concrete, drywall, shingles, tires, propane tanks, paint, and hazardous chemicals are not accepted through curbside service. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners require refrigerant removal certification before disposal. Electronics and household hazardous waste must be taken to Wayne County drop-off events or the Dearborn Recycling Center.
