***FYI***

---

This is the season for tall grass and weeds. Please make sure your property is well maintained and grass is below 6 inches in length. Letters will be sent to properties that are in violation and ultimately a contractor will cut the grass and bill the homeowner. Thank you for keeping your village beautiful!

Emterra Environmental will be starting the curbside yard waste pickup on Thursday, April 3, 2025. Grass clippings, leaves, and weeds can be placed in containers marked with an "X" or in Kraft paper bags. No plastic bags and no 55-gallon drums.  

The Emterra Environmental calendar can be viewed at https://sebewaingmi.gov/trash-%26-recycling.  Curbside yard waste runs from April through November.

The DPW is cleaning sewer lines.  Keep your toilet lids closed to reduce odor. You can run water in all of your sinks and drains if desired; however, no water usage credit will be given.

The Village of Sebewaing DDA was established in 2013 with baseline property tax value. Starting in 2022 the county portion of property taxes, above the 2013 starting point, was given to the DDA by Huron County. These funds will be used for the DDA Façade Grant Application to reimburse exterior improvements of businesses located in the DDA District (see Map). The DDA Board will be reviewing all applications, as there are limited funds available.  By clicking the link below you will find the map and grant application.

The 2025 trash/recycling schedule calendar is available at the Village of Sebewaing Office or by clicking the link below you can view and print them.

The Village of Sebewaing (Village) residents pay for the Brush Pile located on Liken Road through their property taxes. This is a privilege for the residents and property owners of the Village. The Brush Pile is intended for branches and brush that will burn easily. 

Dumping of brush along Liken Road outside of the locked gates of the Brush Pile location is considered littering. The grassy area along Liken Road is only for grass clippings and leaves. A local farmer is using his equipment to spread the grass clippings into the field. Brush dumped in the grassy area will damage his equipment. 

Grass clippings can be placed in the designated area beside the DPW buildings on South First Street. Burning of grass clippings and leaves is prohibited in the Village.

The DPW will pick up curbside brush as their workload allows. Limbs/stick needs to be placed parallel to the street in manageable sized piles. Limbs/stick should be no longer than 8' long and 6" in diameter. 

Be sure to get the proper zoning/building permits for all improvements being done before improvements begin.  Please stop at the Village Municipal Building at 222 N Center Street, call 989-883-2150 or our email office@sebewaingmi.gov.  Speak with our Zoning Administrator-Matt Bumhoffer for the appropriate permit required for your upcoming improvements.
