Orion Township Service Guidelines 2025
DownloadTrash, Recycling & Yard Waste Pickup
At WM, we're proud to take care of our Orion Township neighbors — and our planet — with residential trash pickup and recycling services.
If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a day. For a Thursday holiday, service would be on Friday, and Friday service would be Saturday. For holidays on Saturday or Sunday, there are no delays.

Service & Collection Information
Orion Township has provided one (1) 95 gallon cart (dark green) to each residence for weekly trash collection. Please continue to use your existing cart. To view your specific service day, please click here, enter your address and select “Verify”.
Container Setout Instructions
Place container on the street with wheels against the curb by 7 a.m. on collection days and remove same day. Keep container at least three (3) feet from parked cars, mailboxes, and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up.
How to Prepare Your Materials
All trash should be bagged. Do not overfill your container – the lid must close tightly. Overflow and materials outside will not be collected and may be subject to an additional charge.
What Belongs in Your Container
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, plastic bags, and textiles (donate if lightly used).
Non-acceptable items include construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste.
Set Up New Residential Service
For new service starts, please contact Orion Township at 248-391-0304.
Report a Missed Pickup
If your container was curbside by the specified time and not emptied, click here to report a missed pickup via the link that will appear under the “Next Pickup” section after 6 p.m. on your service day and will remain for 72 hours. Missed pickups cannot be scheduled if your container was not out or was blocked at the time of service.
If you do not see the “Report Missed Pickup for Prior Service” link, that means you are not eligible or are outside the specified time.
