From yard maintenance, to parties, to working on your truck, just remember to be considerate and avoid having one of our fine officers pay you a visit.

So be polite, be considerate of your neighbors, and do the right thing.

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).

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 regarding Priority Waste
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 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. Beginning August 19th, 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, 2024.
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.
