Large Item Collection

Large items (furniture and appliances) are collected on a weekly basis. They must be out at the curb by 7:00 AM on your collection day. This service is part of the trash program.

For collection of Freon containing appliances (refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner), please notify GFL Environmental the day before pick-up. Refrigerator and freezer doors must be removed. A separate truck collects these appliances for removal of the Freon. This service is part of the trash program.

Medical Sharps Collection

If your doctor prescribes home treatments requiring the use of syringes with disposable needles or lancets (commonly referred to as medical sharps), you can dispose of them through a specialized service offered by GFL Environmental. Used and discarded needles should be placed in a specified sharps container which are available at most pharmacies or any puncture proof container, such as an empty detergent bottle or coffee can. GFL Environmental also offers sharps containers that can be delivered to your home. The cost for each container is $15.00 which includes collection and disposal. You will need to call GFL Environmental to request a new container each time. The service can be billed on your invoice for trash and recycling services.

When ready to discard, please call GFL Environmental at 844-464-3587 prior to your pickup day. Container should be clearly visible and marked MEDICAL SHARPS. Do not put container in trash or recycle bin. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE LOOSE NEEDLES IN YOUR TRASH!

Yard Waste Collection

Collection begins the week in which March 15 falls and runs through December 16, 2022.  

During the yard waste season, GFL Environmental will collect all properly prepared yard waste on your regular trash service day. We encourage you to use large, brown paper yard waste bags which are available at your local hardware store. Or, you may call the Township at 248-594-2800 or GFL Environmental at 844-464-3587 to get a "Compost" sticker to put on your 32 gallon can. Use of plastic bags is prohibited as is the mixing of yard waste with your regular trash.

For more information see our Yard Waste Collection page.

Trash Containers

There is a trash container size limit in Bloomfield Township of 32 gallons.  Any solid waste put into a container exceeding the 32-gallon limit will not be picked up. This enforcement, designed to protect the health and safety of GFL Environmental employees, is a standard regulation with most communities, and in fact, has been a part of the solid waste contracts with Bloomfield Township since 1991. It has recently become a problem due to the manufacture of the larger containers, which residents have purchased to hold more trash, thus adding too much weight to the container.
