Collection of yard waste for Detroit residents will be extended to Friday, Dec. 12. Residents can put leaves in biodegradable paper bags only at the curb on their regularly scheduled collection day that falls between now and Dec. 12.
If residents miss their collection day during this period, yard waste can be taken to any of the five drop-off locations listed below.
Residents are reminded that yard waste in plastic bags will not be collected.
