Annual Assessment for 2026
Posted April 14, 2026:
​​​
We currently have three (3) unpaid annual assessments. Those homeowner's who have not paid have been notified by mail and email of their obligation to pay and the penalty for being late. Late fees of $130 were assessed!​
​
The next step will be to involve a legal firm to assist with collections. The firm's expenses will be added to each account until the assessment and all fees have been collected.
Posted January 23, 2026:
​
The Pheasant View Homeowners' Association Board of Directors has reviewed and approved a budget for fiscal year 2026. This budget requires an increase in the annual assessment amount for this year. Please see the details regarding the assessment on the Treasurer page.
Trash and Recycling remindeer
All refuse and recycling must be placed at the curb by 6:30 a.m. to ensure pick-up. Priority Waste will not pick-up refuse or recycling that is placed past the sidewalk on private property. All recycling must be placed separately from your refuse on the opposite side of your driveway. Carts MUST be placed on your driveway apron and not in the street. Carts should be placed with the opening facing the street. Wheels and handlebars should face your home and must also be placed on the opposite side of your drive from your refuse, leaving at least 6” around the cart so the mechanical arm on the truck can easily fit around the cart.
​​
REMINDER: Carts may not be stored at the end of your driveway. Canton Township Ordinance states " . . . Every person shall limit the time when receptacles are placed beyond the front line of any residence to the period between 6:00 PM of the day prior to the regularly scheduled solid waste collection day and 12 hours following the act of collection by the solid waste hauler (paraphrased). ​

Yard Waste Collection
Curbside pickup of residential yard waste begins the first full week in April and lasts through the third week in December. Yard waste containers must be labeled. Containers over 50 pounds or over 32 gallons in size or plastic bags will not be accepted.
​
All yard waste should be placed with recyclables on the opposite side of your driveway from your refuse. Yard waste and recyclables must always be placed separate from your refuse to avoid confusion during collection. We have much more information regarding the proper placement of your trash and recycling wheeled containers on this page below as well as guidelines and FAQ's from Priority Waste. Please scroll down and reacquaint yourself with the requested trash pickup procedures. There is more information regarding trash and recycling on this page.

Street parking on Thursday
Priority Waste has been unable to access several streets in Canton due to vehicles parked in the street. Street parking on collection days, particularly in subdivision courts, can hinder Priority Waste trucks from accessing and emptying carts. This can lead to delays in service and potential disruption for the entire neighborhood.
To ensure timely pickup of garbage, recycling, and yard waste, we are asking residents to keep street parking to a minimum from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. on your regular collection day. If you must park in the street, please be sure to keep at least six feet of space between your vehicle and any collection cart. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Keep Lithium Batteries Out of Garbage/Recycling Carts
​
Residents are advised to keep lithium batteries out of regular trash or recycling carts because they are a fire hazard and must be disposed of properly. Lithium-ion batteries can ignite and cause fires in garbage trucks, waste management facilities, and landfills. Just last week, a lithium battery caused a fire in a Priority Waste truck due to improper disposal.
​
Lithium batteries should ONLY be disposed of at designated drop-of locations. Below is a list of suggested locations in or around Canton:​
• Home Depot
• Lowes
• Canton’s Household Hazardous Waste Round Up, held the first Saturday in September after Labor Day
• A Wayne County Hazardous Waste Collection event, visit waynecountymi.gov for more information.• ERG Environmental Services, a waste management and remediation service facility located at 13040 Merriman Road in Livonia.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

​​NEWS FROM CANTON TOWNSHIP
Posted July 26, 2024
​
Beginning the week of July 29, Priority Waste will provide automated collection of garbage to Canton residents utilizing ADA-compliant, 95-gallon carts. The new carts will replace the current collection protocol of using 32-gallon containers and garbage bags at the curb.
It’s important to note, garbage collection is the only thing changing under Priority Waste. Residents will continue to utilize their current recycling cart for recyclables and yard waste will still be collected in paper yard waste bags or 32-gallon cans. Only garbage bags will go in the new 95-gallon carts.
​​​
PLEASE NOTE: Beginning the week of July 29, yard waste collections will revert back to Thursday.
​​
All garbage bags must be placed inside the cart in order to be collected. Any garbage bag left outside the cart WILL NOT be collected. Similar to the existing practice, Priority Waste will allow residents two bulk items per week. No special arrangements are required and there is no extra fee. Please note, garbage bags outside of the cart DO NOT count as “Bulk Items.”
​
We have received many requests for additional carts or the option to switch to the smaller 65-gallon cart. Priority needs time to implement this new process and will be unable to meet those requests until after August 19. After August 19, residents will be able to purchase additional 95-carts through Priority Waste. For those wishing to switch to a smaller 65-gallon cart, an online form will be available after August 19.
​
In the meantime, we encourage you to work with your friends and neighbors make this process as smooth as possible. If you feel your cart is too large, offer to share the extra space with those who may be struggling to find room. Canton has wonderful residents, and it is our hope that by working together we can make this new transition as smooth as possible.
​
To view a list of frequently asked questions and answers and well as the new collection guidelines visit www.cantonmi.gov/216. Additional questions can be emailed to Canton’s Municipal Services Department at municipalservices@cantonmi.gov.

The new carts will replace the current collection protocol of using 32-gallon containers and garbage bags. Below is a list of frequently asked questions and answers. For more information email municipalservices@cantonmi.gov.
Will my collection day change?
No. Priority Waste will utilize the township’s existing residential collection schedule. Please note, while your collection day will remain the same, your collection time may vary.
​
Will a new cart be provided for trash collection?
Yes. Priority Waste will begin delivering 95-gallon carts to all curbside residents starting in July. Please note, although you’ll receive your new cart in early July, DO NOT put it out until July 29. Any cart put out before July 29, will not be collected.
​​
What do I do with my old cans?
Old cans can be put out for trash collection or dropped off at a Canton Clean-up event.
​​
How easy is the cart to maneuver?
Carts are ADA-compliant, highly durable and on wheels, making them easy to maneuver, even for children and seniors. The carts will make the process of taking out the garbage much easier and more convenient than dragging a can or carrying multiple bags to the curb.
​
How much garbage does the 95-gallon cart hold?
The new 95-gallon carts will hold approximately eight, 14-gallon garbage bags.
​​
Can I purchase a second garbage cart?
Yes. An additional cart may be purchased through Priority Waste, AFTER August 19, for $125. Please note, there is a maximum of three carts per household.
​​
Is there an option to switch to a smaller cart?
Initially, all homeowners will need to take delivery of the 95-gallon cart, unless your entire subdivision was approved for a 65-gallon cart (please check with your Homeowners Association on your approval status). Once all carts are delivered, there will be an on-line form available to request a switch, for a yet-to-be-determined fee. That form will be available after August 19. Residents will be asked to show proof of need (i.e. handicap sticker, vehicle tag or doctor’s note) in order to request a 65-gallon cart. In addition, if your HOA has limited storage space (i.e. one-car garage, lack of side or backyard storage), Municipal Services staff will meet with HOA board members to determine if your complex qualifies for the smaller cart.
​​​​
Will the switch to Priority Waste change how I put my garbage out?
Yes. After July 29, 2024, all garbage bags must be placed inside the cart in order to be collected. Any garbage bag left outside the cart WILL NOT be collected. Please note, garbage bags outside of the cart DO NOT count as “Bulk Items.”
​​
Will there be any parking restrictions on collection days?
Residents must leave at least three feet around the carts in order for the mechanical arm on the truck to easily fi t around the cart.
​​
What happens if my cart is broken or damaged during service?
Carts are under warranty by Priority Waste and will be replaced at no cost, as long as homeowner negligence is not identified.
​​
If my cart becomes dirty, will the township clean it?
No, maintenance of the cart is the homeowners' responsibility.
​​
Will bulk items still be collected at the curb?
Similar to the existing practice, Priority Waste will allow residents two bulk items per week. No special arrangements are required and there is no extra fee. Please note, refrigerator and freezers must have all Freon and doors removed in order to be collected. Any refrigerator or freezer left at the curb with the doors on will NOT be collected. If you have more than two bulk items, call Priority Waste at 586/228-1200 to inquire about a “Special Pickup” for a fee.
​
What time does my garbage, recycling and yard waste need to be at the curb?
All garbage, recycling and yard waste must be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 pm the night before your collection day and no later than 6:30 am on your regular collection day to ensure pick up. Priority Waste will not pick up garbage, recycling or yard waste that is placed past the sidewalk (between the sidewalk and your home) on private property. Garbage and recycling carts should face towards your residence with the lifting bar facing the street.
​
How do I report a missed pick up?
Missed pickups can be reported on-line at either www.prioritywaste.com or www.cantonmi. gov/216. You can also call Priority Waste at 586/228-1200 or Canton’s Division of Public Works at 734/397-1011.
​​
Will I get a new recycling cart too?
No. The recycling carts provided by GFL will now be the property of Canton Township.
​​​
Will I get a new cart for Yard Waste?
No. There will be no change to the curbside collection of residential yard waste. Curbside pickup of residential yard waste begins the first week in April and runs through the second week in December. Yard waste containers must be labeled “Yard Waste.” CONTAINERS OVER 50 POUNDS OR OVER 32 GALLONS IN SIZE OR PLASTIC BAGS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Please note, yard waste collections will revert back to your normal collection day starting the week of July 29.
​​
Will Priority Waste provide residents with scheduled Canton Clean-up days?
Yes. Priority Waste will hold their first Canton Clean-up on Saturday, August 24 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Van Buren Transfer Station, located at 44135 Yost Road. To view the 2024 Canton Clean-up schedule, visit www.cantonmi.gov/917.
