Westland contracts curbside refuse, recycling, and yard waste collection on weekly routes. Carts must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day and removed within 24 hours after pickup.
The City of Westland provides weekly curbside collection of household refuse, single-stream recycling, and seasonal yard waste through its contracted hauler. Service days are assigned by neighborhood and published on the city website and on the hauler portal. Residents must place city-issued or approved carts at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the scheduled day, with the wheels facing the house and at least three feet of clearance on each side for the automated arm. Empty carts must be returned to a screened storage location within 24 hours of pickup. Holiday weeks shift collection one day later, and missed-pickup reports must be filed within 48 hours.
