Trash removal is included with the monthly utility bill.  Trash is picked up every Friday, and should be placed at the curb before 6 a.m.  A change in the pick-up date is generally posted on this website, at City Hall, and on the City’s Facebook page.   Trash pick-up includes household wastes ONLY – NO yard waste and NO construction materials.

Bulk Item Pick Up Clarification

City of Perry residents qualify for the pick-up of one bulk item per week, along with their standard cart service.

Examples of eligible bulk items are a tv, mattress, chair, exercise equipment, doors, car seats, rolled and secured carpet, broken appliances, etc. 

Bags of trash and boxes are considered extra waste and must be placed inside your cart.

If a bulk item is too big for pick up by the standard truck on Friday, the driver will tag the item and alert WM to send a large item truck.  This truck will visit the city on THURSDAYS.

Scheduling of bulk items is NOT required, but residents may call city hall at 517-625-6155 OR WM 866-797-9018 to do so.  Items called in by NOON on Wednesday will be scheduled for pick up the same week.  Items left at the curb without scheduling will not be picked up until the following Thursday.
