The Environmental Citizens Committee and DPS are celebrating Arbor Day! Join us for a tree planting demonstration/ceremony on the grounds of the Madison Early Childhood Center and Madison Preparatory Academy, AKA the former Sunset Park. The tree planting will take place near the corner of Tawas and East Brockton, Saturday, May 1, at 1:00 PM. This event coincides with the upcoming planting of 75 trees in the neighborhood, generously funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant, and private donations. As is customary in these times of COVID-19, we recommend the appropriate social distancing measures be employed if you choose to attend.

This "trash amnesty day" is meant to encourage residents to clean out garages, basements, and most especially yards, creating a cleaner, nicer Madison Heights, with fewer places to harbor rodents, mosquitoes, and other pesky critters. You will be able to bring your trash to DPS for disposal in one of the waiting trash trucks, or roll-off waste receptacles. A wide variety of items will be accepted; the list is almost endless, but we do have some restrictions, which are as follow: Madison Heights residents only, please. Proof of ID will be required. No household hazardous waste, car batteries, or liquids of any kind. No contractor debris, or complete roofing jobs (miscellaneous shingles will be accepted). As always, residents will be required to remain in their vehicles as a matter of safety. DPS and GFL staff will be taking the necessary safety measures and precautions in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
