When Friday Trash Pickup Is Not Enough
Thomas Township trash is collected every Friday through the Mid Michigan Waste Authority (MMWA), with trucks run by Waste Management. The township refuse guide sets these limits. Check the current collection calendar on the township refuse page to confirm your pickup day and any holiday changes.
- One 96 gallon trash cart per home, with trash no more than 12 inches above the lip.
- Two bulky items per week. Items too large for the regular truck are tagged and picked up by the bulk truck within 2 business days.
- Carts must be out by 7 a.m. on Friday.
A kitchen tear out, a roof, or a full basement will not fit those limits. Hauling debris yourself means loading a trailer and paying at a landfill, such as Peoples Landfill in Birch Run, which accepts construction and demolition debris on weekdays for a fee. A trash container rental lets you load at home over 7 days and have the debris hauled for you.
Projects That May Need a Dumpster
About 11,900 people live in the township, according to the Census Reporter profile of Census Bureau data. Common projects that may need a dumpster include:
- Roof replacements. The township’s A Guide to Roofing says a building permit is required before any roofing project. Homeowners may pull their own permit if they do the work; otherwise a licensed contractor pulls it. Shingles are heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard is often the right size. See our roofing dumpster rental page.
- Kitchen and bathroom remodels. A 15 or 20 yard usually fits, depending on the amount of debris. See our construction dumpster rental page.
- Garage, basement, and estate cleanouts. Furniture and boxes are bulky but light. See our residential dumpster rental page.
- Demolition of a shed, deck, or garage. Ask first about concrete, brick, or other heavy debris.
- Business cleanouts along Gratiot Road. See our commercial dumpster rental page.
Yard Waste, Brush, and the Township Brush Site
Michigan law limits yard waste in landfills, so keep grass, leaves, and brush out of a trash dumpster. Township residents have two routes:
For a large lot clearing, ask us before you book. See our yard waste dumpster page.
Placement, Permits, and Who Handles the Road
Keeping the box on your own property is the simplest path, so measure your driveway first.
- Place the dumpster on a hard, level surface entirely outside the road right of way. Confirm the boundary if the spot is near a ditch or the road.
- A 10 or 15 yard is about 12 to 14 feet long. The 20, 30, and 40 yard boxes are about 22 feet long.
- Tell us if your concrete is new or if you have pavers, and ask about boards under the rails.
- Tell us about overhead wires, low branches, gates, and access limits so we can confirm delivery requirements.
- Keep the box clear of mailboxes, fire hydrants, and drainage ditches.
The township residents guide lists who handles each road. The Saginaw County Road Commission, at (989) 752 6140, maintains county roads, and its right of way page says a permit is required for any work or activity in the right of way. Gratiot Road (M 46) is a state highway under the Michigan Department of Transportation. Confirm driveway placement requirements with the township at (989) 781 0150, and contact the responsible road authority if public space placement is needed.
Loading Your Dumpster
- Keep debris below the top edge or the provider’s lower marked fill line. Every load must remain within its approved hauling limit.
- Load heavy, flat items low and spread the weight evenly.
- Break down furniture and fill gaps with bags.
- Rain and snow add weight to an open load. Ask about covering it between loading days.
What Stays Out of the Dumpster
Liquid paint, chemicals, tires, car batteries, lithium batteries, propane tanks, and asbestos stay out. See what can go in a dumpster for the full list.
- Household hazardous waste: MMWA runs a household hazardous waste program at (989) 781 9555. The Saginaw County Health Department also holds drop off events by appointment for county residents at (989) 758 3686.
- Propane tanks: ask a propane dealer whether it accepts your tank for return, exchange, or disposal.
- Electronics: MMWA runs electronics recycling. Call for dates.
In an older home or building, before you tear out old flooring, ceilings, or siding, check the asbestos notice rules on our construction dumpster page.
