Mich. Admin. Code R. § R 125.1716
Frequency of removal.
Operative Text
Rule 716. Garbage and rubbish shall be removed from a mobile home park or seasonal mobile home park at least once a week, or more often if the container lid or lids will not properly close. History: 2008 AACS.
Under Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1716, mobile home parks and seasonal mobile home parks are required to arrange for the removal of garbage and rubbish at least once every seven days. If waste accumulates to the point where container lids cannot close properly, removal must happen more frequently than the weekly minimum. The rule sets a baseline sanitation standard tied to the physical condition of the waste containers, not just a fixed calendar schedule.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks and seasonal mobile home parks subject to Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1716 generally maintain a scheduled waste-removal contract that meets the once-per-week minimum. Compliant operators also monitor container fill levels regularly, arranging additional pickups whenever lids cannot close fully rather than waiting for the next scheduled removal. Keeping written records of waste-removal schedules and any extra pickups can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this rule.

Mich. Admin. Code R. 125.1716 establishes that residents of mobile home parks and seasonal mobile home parks are entitled to garbage and rubbish removal at least weekly, and more often when containers are overfull. If removal is not occurring at that frequency, tenants may document the conditions—such as overflowing containers with lids that won't close—and consider reporting the situation to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs or a local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with manufactured housing regulations can help residents understand available options for addressing ongoing sanitation concerns.
