Mailbox Repair

Unfortunately, during our snow plowing operations, mailboxes are sometimes damaged. Please report the damage to the City of Coopersville Administrative Office at (616) 997-9731. We will make repairs as soon as possible. Occasionally, temporary repairs may be made to avoid interruption of your mail service. If your post has been broken, we may not be able to replace it right away if the ground is frozen.

Snow Plowing

It takes a tremendous effort by the Coopersville Department of Public Works to keep our streets well maintained during the winter months. Please help by remembering to follow the winter parking ordinance so streets can be snow plowed. Do not shovel or blow snow into the street. Clear sidewalks of snow and ice within 24 hours after snow has fallen and accumulated.

Sidewalks

Residents must keep their sidewalks clear of ice and snow so that people can walk on them safely. Snow must be cleared within twenty-four hours after it has fallen or has accumulated. If you do not have sidewalks you must clear a path where a sidewalk would be. The owner of an unoccupied land or business is responsible for their sidewalks. If you don’t take care of them, the city may do it and charge you for it.

Winter Parking Regulations

Vehicles may not be parked on any city street between the hours of 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. from November through March. Violating vehicles may be impounded and their owners charged for all costs and penalties.

Yard Waste Collection

Allied Waste Industries, Inc. provides a comprehensive curbside yard waste program for the residents of the City beginning the first week in April and continuing through the end of November each year. Bags for recycling yard waste are available at a variety of local merchants. Residents may also place yard waste in a container that is clearly marked "Yard Waste".

Yard waste is defined as leaves, grass clippings, vegetable or other garden debris, shrubbery, brush or tree trimmings less than four feet in length and two inches in diameter, or wood chips that can be converted to compost humus. Yard clippings do not include stumps, agricultural waste, animal waste, roots, sewage sludge, or garbage.
