The Dearborn Administrative Center, the
libraries, and 19th District Court will be closed Wednesday, Dec. 31
and Thursday, Jan. 1. The Ford Community and
Performing Arts Center is open on Dec. 31 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The DISC is
open 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve.

            On
New Year’s Day, the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center is open from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. All other city facilities are closed.          

Discarded Christmas trees can be
placed at the curb for pickup on your trash day. Remember that cardboard boxes should
be broken down so they fit in the green recycling cart. If that is not
possible, the cardboard should be broken down, tied and placed next to the cart
so that the driver of the recycling truck can easily reload the cardboard into
the cart for disposal.            

Also remember that trash should be
bagged and put in the gray cart. Do not use the green recycling cart for trash.

Large amounts of excess trash set at the curb may
require a special pickup, for a minimum fee of $55. 

Residents may be asked to lease an additional cart
for a one-time fee of $55 if they regularly put out excess trash or excess
recycling at the curb. 

The City offers free disposal of items dropped off at
the DPW Yard, 2951 Greenfield, the third Saturday of every month from 8 a.m. to
1 p.m. The next free drop-off day is January 17.  Call 313.943.2433 for details.
