- You point the crew at what goes and set aside anything you are keeping.

What crews plan for in the 48122 ZIP code
Melvindale's 48122 ZIP is compact, with a land area of about 2.7 square miles and a population density of about 4,634 people per square mile. That density means narrow streets, close-set houses and limited driveway space, so the crew plans for curb access on many pickups.
About 22 percent of homes here are in buildings of five units or more, which often means stairs or a shared entrance rather than a private driveway. The crew carries everything out and protects walls and railings along the way.
The housing stock is older, with a median build year of 1949 and about 83 percent of homes built before 1980. About 40 percent of occupied homes are rented, so moves and turnovers keep the cleanout schedule steady through the year.
Snow cover makes outdoor removal a spring job and moves everything else into the basement and garage.
