NEW Waste Hauling Day Change

December 3, 2022 By Joe Pagano

Starting on December 5, 2022, a change in waste removal will take place.  Flat Rock’s current schedule is that all waste including recycling is on Fridays.  Starting this week there will be a Three-day removal schedule based on your location in the city.  If you have a Red Recycle cart, you will NOT be able to use it.  Each resident that had one should have received a Green cart with a black top.  (New cart Pictured Below.) Starting Monday, the Green cart will be the only one that will be collected for recycling.  You can call the city of Flat Rock at 782-2470 for removal of the old Red recycle containers.  Below is a copy of the city map with the pickup days noted.

Pictured is the NEW Waste Pickup Map and the New Recycle Cart for the City of Flat Rock.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
