Garbage Collection, Recycling, Compost Site, Rubbish Site
The City of Marquette provides once per week collection of household refuse and properly prepared recyclables from all residential properties within the city. In addition to garbage pickup, the City of Marquette offers curbside collection of recyclable materials. Glass only recycle items are picked up the first full collection week of the month. Single Stream recycle items - paper, tin, plastic - are to be placed together and will be collected the following weeks.
The compost and rubbish drop off sites are open every week during the months of April - November, weather permitting, and are available to City residents that are able to provide a water bill or rental usage agreement.
