Yard Waste Removal in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Yard waste removal covers brush, branches, leaves, grass clippings, shrubs, sod and landscaping debris. Michigan EGLE says yard clippings should be composted on site or taken to a composting facility rather than landfilled, so yard waste is usually collected and processed separately from household trash.
For small amounts, your city's yard waste program may be enough. Detroit, for example, collects yard waste in paper or biodegradable bags and bundled branches during yard waste season, and does not collect yard waste in plastic bags. For storm cleanup, big landscaping jobs or overgrown lots, a dedicated yard waste container or haul-away is faster. Keep trash and dirt separate unless the hauler allows mixed loads. Tree removal itself belongs with tree removal pros.

Permits and disposal rules
A container parked on your own driveway or yard usually does not need a right-of-way permit, but some cities, townships and HOAs set their own rules, so check before delivery. Placing it in the street, on the berm or elsewhere in the public right-of-way needs a permit. In Detroit, the City's residential solid waste guidelines say roll-off containers must be placed on your property and that street or berm placement requires a DPW permit; dumpster permits are among the right-of-way permits handled by the DPW City Engineering Division. Elsewhere, ask your city or township and confirm who pulls the permit.
Michigan EGLE restricts yard clippings from landfills and directs them to composting. Keep yard waste separate from trash unless your hauler allows a mixed load, and check your municipality's own yard waste collection rules.
