Curbside Yard Waste Collection Provided by the Department of Public Works

If you are interested in curbside yard waste collection, please call the City of Riverview Department of Public Works at 734-281-4270.

Curbside yard waste pickup runs from April 1st through November 30th of every year.

After December 1st, yard waste must be dropped off at the Riverview Land Preserve. Yard waste drop off at the Land Preserve is available year round. 


Where do the materials go and how are they used?

Yard clippings are delivered to a compost facility where they are converted to a soil-like material that is used in gardening and landscaping.

Scrap materials are transported to a recycling center for further processing by material type and weight.

The separated materials can be used in place of raw materials in the production process of many types of goods and materials sold to businesses and consumers. Batteries are processed to recover reusable metals.
