The Middle of Everywhere!

Welcome to the City of Alma That's Alma! The wonder and beauty of the great State of Michigan is easily accessible from Alma. We are located where M46 and US127 come together in the middle of the state. Alma’s a great place to live and raise a family. We are proud of our quaint, walkable downtown that continues to improve with new restaurants, shops and apartments. Being the home of the Alma College Scots, we provide opportunities for the arts and culture that rival much larger cities. Come and see how nice it can be to be living in the Middle of Everything!

Additional Dates for Downed Limbs

Due to the wind storm over the Thanksgiving weekend we understand many of you may have some downed limbs and tree debris in your yards. The public works superintendent has decided that as long as the weather cooperates, crews will make one more pass next week with the chipper to help clear the mess. Residents can place their limbs and debris at the curb on their normal trash day during the week of December 9th - 13th. This is a hard date. No yard waste will be picked up after that date until Spring and any debris placed out after your normal trash day next week will not be permitted. Thanks to the crews for extending the service and to all residents for their cooperation. Note: Leaf collection was extended until December 2nd and is done for the year
