Trash & Recycling Pickup

Eastpointe, formerly East Detroit until 1992, is known for its suburban charm and welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere. Eastpoint was first incorporated as the Village of Halfway in 1924, due to its location halfway between Detroit and Mount Clemens, and then the City of East Detroit in 1929. As the Gateway to Macomb County, Eastpointe is focused on family-oriented values and constantly enhancing its strong community foundation.
