This Week in Westland November 9, 2024 - November 17, 2024

The City of Westland no longer does street leaf pick-up. Residents must bag leaves for curbside pick-up. Bulk item pick-up has replaced this program, so residents can place bulk items on the curb on recycling day to be taken. As a result, there will be complimentary compost bags available at Westland City Hall through December 13. There is a limit of 10 bags per household. Westland City Hall is located at 36300 Warren Road and is open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

City offices will be closed Monday, November 11th in observance of Veteran's Day. This includes City Hall, the Library, Recycling Center, and the 18th District Court. Trash pick-up will not be delayed. Offices will reopen Tuesday, November 12th for normal business hours.
