As part of the new contract with the City's refuse collection vendor Priority Waste, all single-family households will receive a new garbage cart delivered directly to their home free of cost.
Every household (excluding apartments and condominiums) will receive one 95-Gallon Southfield-branded trash cart with a hinged lid and wheels for easy mobility.
At present, the new carts are not required and residents can still use their own trash cans; however, they cannot be more than 32-gallons or weigh more than 60 lbs. as those cans must be manually placed into the truck.
Residents should contact Priority Waste at (586) 228-1200 or visit www.prioritywaste.comto order a free 64-gallon recycling cart delivered directly to their home. Recycling carts are only provided upon request at no cost to single-family households (excluding apartments and condominiums) who have not already previously received one.
Priority Waste will continue to pick up garbage and recycling on residents' designated days; however, there may be some fluctuation in pick up times. All other rules for curbside collection will remain the same:
Place trash at the curb after 4 p.m. on the afternoon before scheduled pick-up and no later than 7 a.m. the day of your scheduled pick-up.
