SAGINAW, MI — The City of Saginaw announced today that the 2024 seasonal curbside yard waste collection has been extended through the week of December 9. This decision, prompted by milder weather conditions, allows residents additional time to complete their leaf raking and yard cleanup projects as the season winds down.
Residents are encouraged to place all properly prepared yard waste materials at the curb by 7 a.m. on their scheduled collection day. The final collection dates for the week of December 9 are as follows:
- Monday, Dec. 9: Monday collection areas
- Tuesday, Dec. 10: Tuesday collection areas
- Wednesday, Dec. 11: Wednesday collection areas
- Thursday, Dec. 12: Thursday collection areas
- Friday, Dec. 13: Friday collection areas
Yard Waste Guidelines
All yard waste must be placed in paper yard waste bags or in garbage cans (35 gallons or smaller) clearly marked with a “Yard Waste” sticker on the front. The City emphasizes that leaves should not be swept into the street, as this practice is prohibited.
