Keep parked vehicles off of the street during Public Service Days

Dearborn residents are reminded that they must keep parked vehicles off of the street during Public Service Days.

Be sure to remove parked vehicles from the street from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on your trash pickup day / Public Service Day. Failure to do so could result in your receiving a ticket.

A complete schedule of Public Service Days can be found at www.cityofdearborn.org or in the City Calendar. Street signs have been posted in every neighborhood telling which day is a Public Service Day for that neighborhood.

During the autumn, removing your parked vehicles from the road on Public Service Days allows city crews to collect loose leaves raked into the street more efficiently.

For more information about Public Service Days, call 943-2886.
