Township residents are eligible for a $50 per calendar year reimbursement for utilizing the Ypsilanti Township’s Compost Site, 2600 E. There is no limit on the number of yard waste bags you put out each week. Small limbs or brush can be securely tied in bundles that do not exceed 4 feet in length or 30 pounds in weight. Yard waste must be placed in biodegradable brown paper kraft bags (available at most hardware stores or nurseries) or loose in trash cans with handles. Trees must be 6 ft tall or less, cannot be in a bag, and must be clear of any/all lights, ornaments, tinsel, etc. Christmas Trees will be picked up through mid-January. Yard waste collection season shall be from the first full week in April continuing through the second full week of December annually. The 95-gallon recycle carts and yard waste will be picked-up every other week (see below for schedule).

The cost includes one 95-gallon curb cart for the containment of waste. New residents must contact GFL to begin service (84). Residents who live in apartment complexes or manufactured home communities have solid waste service through their landlords/rental companies. This contract was negotiated by the Township to assure the best possible service for the least cost to our residents. Superior Charter Township has a contract with Green For Life (GFL) for weekly curbside residential solid waste including recycling and yard waste.
