Lansing switches to weekly yard waste collection starting November 2

Lansing residents now have weekly curbside yard waste collection instead of the previous every-other-week schedule. The change took effect on November 2, 2026, aligning pickup days with regular CART collection.

Accepted materials must be placed in paper bags or bundles weighing less than 30 pounds. Branches should be under four feet long and two inches in diameter, secured with string or twine rather than wire.

The city advises residents to keep waste out of the road and gutter, setting it out no earlier than the day before pickup. Heavy volumes may delay collection by a few days, so residents are encouraged to leave bags until crews arrive.
