Set-out rules
Cart and set-out rules in Lansing.
Carts belong at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day, and they have to be back off the curb within 24 hours.
All trash placed in the carts must be bagged, which keeps the carts cleaner and holds down odor.
Cart collections begin at 7 a.m., so the blue trash cart has to be on the curb before the pickup time or set out the night before; late set-outs are not accepted.
Once the cart has been emptied it cannot stay at the curb for more than 24 hours.
Bags stacked on top of the blue cart are not collected, and bags set beside it are only taken from households on the large-cart option.
