Named dumps, transfer stations, and HHW sites tied to this city’s research. Confirm hours on the official source.
Items that share the same official city or county source are grouped here. Alias items open this program section; core guides stay on their own page.
Mattresses, furniture, and many appliances — city bulk or drop-off, not the regular cart.
Official source:
Sterling Heights mattresss go out on your regular collection day — up to five bulk items per week at no extra cost. Bundled items must be under 4 feet and 50 pounds, and soiled mattresses need a mattress bag. Larger cleanouts use a Priority Waste special pickup ($137.50–$275 published) or a rented dumpster.
Household hazardous waste — used oil, paint, propane, batteries, and chemicals.
Official source:
Take motor oil to a Macomb County Health Department household hazardous waste collection day at 43525 Elizabeth Road in Mount Clemens — appointments are required and collections are scheduled days, not a permanent daily depot. Sterling Heights also runs its own HHW event; latex paint should be dried out and put in the trash.
TVs, computers, and electronics. Usually banned from trash and the blue bin.
Official source:
Sterling Heights collects electronics including e waste mixed at city recycling events rather than at the curb. Watch the city calendar for the next electronics collection, and wipe your data before drop-off.
Construction debris, concrete, and remodel waste — transfer station or roll-off.
Official source:
Sterling Heights accepts small home-remodel debris such as doors and bundled wood as bulk items, but larger construction debris needs a special pickup or rented dumpster. Route paint and chemicals to Macomb County HHW.
Yard waste, food scraps, and cooking oil where the city has a separate stream.
Official source:
Sterling Heights yard waste goes in a marked 95-gallon yard cart or paper yard bags during the seasonal compost collection period; Christmas trees are collected during and after the holiday weeks.
Cart recycling, store film take-back, and foam rules — not a second bulky program.
Official source:
Sterling Heights recycling carts do not want expanded polystyrene (EPS). White block foam, packing peanuts, and food trays are different streams. Grocery film/bag bins are not a foam drop-off. Sterling Heights — Refuse Disposal Tips is the official Sterling Heights program we verified — if that page only mentions plastic bags or film, treat block foam and food trays as bagged garbage unless it names a foam densifier. Clean peanuts may be reused at a shipper; starch peanuts are not EPS.
