Other notes
- These resident yards take bulk and yard waste, not everyday household garbage. Not a general-purpose licensed landfill.
- No remodeling/construction debris, car/truck parts or hazardous waste at these free yards.
- Southfield and Davison addresses above are two separate city yards, not the suburban City of Southfield facility.
- Hours conflict: city Bulk & Yard Waste page gives 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. without winter qualification. Free Dumping page specifically changes to 4:00 p.m. November-March. Use the seasonal 4:00 p.m. winter close and confirm before travel.
- J. Fons at 6451 E. McNichols is a separate city-listed paid construction-waste option. City sources show conflicting prices and Saturday times there; no rate for that separate site is presented as verified here.
- For electronics, paint, batteries and other household hazardous waste use the separate city program, not these bulk/yard-waste piles.
