City Offers Disposal Options for Homes Affected by Basement Flooding

To assist residents who experienced basement flooding during this week’s torrential rains, the city of Dearborn is offering additional options for timely disposal of items affected by water.

Residents who have experienced basement flooding and may need a special curbside pickup of debris or ruined materials are asked to call Residential Services at 313-515-2126 for a quick evaluation.

Homeowners who want to throw away items not normally picked up at the curb can take the items to the Department of Public Works yard from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 13 for free disposal.

The DPW yard also will be open for free disposal from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 20, its regularly scheduled date for July. The DPW yard is open every month on the third Saturday. It is located at 2951 Greenfield Road, south of I-94.

Residents must be able to carry unwanted items from their vehicles. There is no assistance at the yard. No hazardous materials are accepted at the yard or at the curb.
