The City of Northville has a year-round program that allows residents to put branches and brush at the curb for collection. Branches 6 feet long and up to 6 inches in diameter can now be placed at the curb for removal by the City’s solid waste collection contractor. A crew will come through each neighborhood and chip any branches left at the curb on the day of your normal scheduled refuse and recycling pick up day.
Branches must be in the street right-of-way (between the street and the sidewalk). Simply stack the branches neatly behind the curb with the cut ends facing the street.
This program benefits residents who do a lot of tree and bush trimming, and expedites clean-up efforts after storms. The City cannot take roots, stumps dirt, lumber, railroad ties or any wood with metal in it.
DPW yards no longer take these items: roots, dirt, lumber, railroad ties or any wood with metal in it. You can take these items to: Arbor Hills Landfill, 10690 Six Mile Rd., Northville, Michigan 48167, 888-443-1717.
Residents can dispose of firewood pieces and stumps with their normal weekly garbage (Maximum 35 gallon cans and 60 lb. weight limit).
Residents may have to rake up small branches after the large brush piles are removed.
