Summary
Wyoming, Michigan collects garbage, rubbish and other refuse only on the days shown on the city's official Refuse Collection Areas map, and crews cannot start before 6:00 a.m. on any collection day. The Code of Ordinances ties pickup to that mapped zone rather than a single citywide day.
All garbage, rubbish and other refuse shall be collected only on the days indicated in the areas marked on the map entitled, "Refuse Collection Areas—City of Wyoming, Michigan." ... No garbage, rubbish or other refuse shall be collected before 6:00 a.m. on any day.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 26 Update 2).
Full Breakdown
Wyoming, Michigan schedules trash pickup by geographic zone rather than a single citywide day. " The city divides its neighborhoods, from the Grand River corridor to the Kent County line near Kentwood and Grandville, into these mapped collection areas, and a resident's pickup day depends on which area their address falls in. on any day, protecting residents from pre-dawn truck noise. Removal itself must happen at regular intervals under Section 62-66, which caps how long waste can sit on a property between pickups, garbage for no more than seven days and rubbish for no more than 14 days, so the schedule ties directly to a hard accumulation limit rather than being merely a suggestion.
Section 62-67 lets the city's director, the city manager or a designee, extend those limits when inclement weather, a lack of available removal service, or another condition beyond a resident's control makes timely removal impossible. Because Chapter 62 assigns the removal duty to the occupant of a single-family dwelling, the manager of a multifamily building, or the person in charge of a commercial or industrial operation, service can come through the city's contracted hauler or another licensed hauler; the code does not name one exclusive citywide provider in these sections.
Violations & Fines
Missing the mapped collection day is not itself fined, but letting garbage sit past the Section 62-66 limits, seven days for garbage, 14 days for rubbish, or setting waste out before the map's scheduled day violates Chapter 62 and defaults to the Section 1-27 civil infraction schedule: $75, then $500, then $2,500 for repeat offenses within a year, plus costs.
