The Department of Public Services anticipates beginning curbside leaf pickup on Monday, October 19, with collection continuing through early December, weather permitting.
To help ensure your leaves are collected:
• Place leaf piles as close to the edge of the street as possible, think higher, not wider, while keeping two-way traffic open.
• Do NOT place leaves in drainage ditches. Crews will not rake out ditches.
• Residents on Santa Barbara and Bloomfield should place leaf piles along adjacent side streets.
• Keep trash, pet waste, twigs, branches, grass clippings, flowers and other yard waste out of leaf piles. Contaminated piles will be skipped.
• Keep leaf piles several feet away from garbage cans and other refuse.
• Do NOT park vehicles on or near leaf piles.
• Expect some “leaf dust," a normal by-product of the collection process.
• Please be patient! Weather affects the schedule, and wet or windy conditions can slow collection.
• Prefer bags? Yard waste bags may still be used for leaves during the season.
• If you use a landscaping company, please share these guidelines with them.
Thank you for helping our crews safely and efficiently collect leaves throughout the community! 🍁
The Southfield Fire Department will be conducting fire hydrant inspections and pressure testing tomorrow (9/29) from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM throughout the community.
Residents may temporarily experience discolored water during this work. If you experience discoloration, run cold water from a faucet closest to your water meter until the water runs clear.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

🌳 REMINDER: Emergency Chipping Services Tomorrow
The City’s emergency brush chipping service will take place tomorrow, Monday, September 14.
To ensure your brush is picked up, please follow the proper brush placement guidelines:
➡️ Place brush and branches in the street right-of-way, at the edge of your property.
➡️ Keep brush separate from other materials, including leaves, grass, garbage, and other yard waste.
➡️ Place branches in a neat pile, with the blunt/cut ends of branches facing the street.
➡️ Limbs and branches should be less than 6 inches in diameter to ensure they can be safely processed through the chipper.
➡️ Do not place brush in the roadway or block sidewalks, fire hydrants, drainage areas, or access to driveways.
➡️ Brush should be storm-related tree and branch debris suitable for mechanical chipping.
➡️ Do not include logs, stumps, lumber, construction materials, trash, or other non-chippable materials.
⚠️ Please note: Brush that does not comply with the placement guidelines or contains non-chippable materials may be skipped by the contractor. If a property is skipped due to improper placement or materials, removal of the brush will become the responsibility of the property owner.
Proper placement helps our contractor efficiently and safely collect your brush.

🏠 Can We Find Your Address?
A friendly reminder to all Lathrup Village property owners: your property address must be clearly visible from the road.
Code requires address numbers to be:
🔢 At least 4 inches tall
👀 Clearly visible from the road
🎨 Displayed in a contrasting color so they can be easily read
This requirement isn’t just about code compliance; it’s about public safety. Clearly displayed addresses help police, fire, EMS, utility crews, and other emergency responders quickly identify the correct property when seconds matter.
Please take a moment to check your address numbers and make sure they are visible, legible, and properly displayed.

🚗 Reminder: Keep Unlicensed & Inoperable Vehicles Out of Public View
A friendly reminder to Lathrup Village property owners and residents: vehicles with expired license plates, no license plates, or vehicles that are inoperable cannot be stored where they are visible from the public right-of-way.
If you have a vehicle that falls into one of these categories, please make sure it is stored inside a garage or otherwise screened from public view.
This helps maintain the appearance of our neighborhoods and ensures properties remain in compliance with City ordinances.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep Lathrup Village clean, safe, and well-maintained! 🚙🏡
