Macomb County runs no bulk pickup. In Michigan, large-item disposal is handled by each city or township through its hauler contract, plus county Health Department hazardous-waste events.
The county does not offer bulk pickup for furniture, appliances, or mattresses. Bulk-item rules, scheduled large-item days, and item limits are set by your city or township and its contracted hauler; many require a call-ahead and cap the number of items per collection. For hazardous items the county Health Department holds periodic household-hazardous-waste collection events free to Macomb residents, and Michigan bans certain items such as whole tires and yard clippings from landfills. Check your municipal hauler for bulk rules and the county Health Department for hazardous-waste drop-off dates.
Setting out unaccepted bulk items or exceeding item limits results in the hauler leaving the items and, in some communities, a municipal notice. The county has no bulk-disposal penalty; improper roadside dumping instead triggers state littering law.
