Winter months (mid-December through March): SOCRRA residents can bring Christmas trees and bags of yard waste to SOCRRA Transfer station free of charge. SOCRRA does not accept yard waste in plastic bags.
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) takes a very active role in enforcing the ban on the disposal of yard waste (compost) into landfills. As a result, the City of Clawson will only accept yard waste materials during the compost season.
Use Brown Yard Waste Bags or if you use a Yard Waste container they can be no larger than 35 Gallons and designated for yard waste only. Stickers are free and available at the Clawson DPW & City Hall.
