Divisions
Garbage Collection, Recycling, Compost Site, Rubbish Site
The City of Marquette provides weekly collection of household garbage and properly prepared recyclables from residential properties of 5 units or less within the city. Glass recyclable items may be dropped off at the Municipal Service Center or Waste Management transfer station. The compost and rubbish drop off sites are seasonally available from mid-April through October/early November, weather permitting, and are available to City residents, paying their solid waste fee on their utility bill. The rubbish drop-off site will close once fall leaf collection begins.
