City Hall EV Chargers

Lathrup Village City Hall, 27400 Southfield Road, has launched two new public EV charging stations. Through a collaborative effort with General Motors and Charge EV (CEV), the City incurred no costs for the installation of these new chargers, and the City will receive 10% of the net operating profit generated from the EV chargers. The Level II charging stations will be maintained by CEV at no expense to the City via the General Motors Community Charging Program, demonstrating a fruitful public-private partnership that propels the City toward its strategic objective of integrating sustainable infrastructure.

Made possible by the LWVC partnership agreement

Leaf Collection

Curbside leaf vacuuming will end the first week of December.


Guidelines

To ensure that leaves from your property are collected, please follow these guidelines:

  • Place leaf piles as close to the edge of the street as possible. Think of higher piles, not wider piles. It's important to allow for two-way vehicular traffic at all times.
  • Do NOT place leaf piles in the drainage ditch. Leaf removal crews will not rake out ditches.
  • Homeowners with addresses on Santa Barbara and Bloomfield should place leaf piles along adjacent side streets.
  • Do NOT include trash, animal feces, twigs, branches, grass clippings, flowers, and other yard waste with leaves. They often cause mechanical malfunctions. If the leaf removal crew discovers these items in a leaf pile, they will leave them and move on to the next address.
  • Help ensure crew safety and timely removal by placing leaf piles several feet from garbage cans and other refuse.
  • Expect some residue - "leaf dust". It is an inevitable by-product of the leaf collection method and equipment.
  • Do NOT park vehicles on or near leaf piles.
  • Please be patient. The leaf collection schedule is weather-dependent. it takes longer to collect wet leaves. Several windy days in a row often result in larger leaf piles, which can also take longer to collect.
  • If you prefer, you may still use yard waste bags for leaves during the season.
  • If you employ a landscape company, please advise them of these guidelines
