Help Us Improve Trash Service: Report Missed Pick-up

Help Us Improve Trash Service: Report Missed Pick-Up

You may have seen Clinton Township in the news lately.

Over the past several weeks, Clinton Township, along with many of our surrounding communities, have experienced delays in trash, recycling, and compost pick-up service by Priority Waste. These delayed and missed pick-ups are unacceptable. In addition to being an inconvenience for residents and the Township, they can also lead to a health and safety issue in our neighborhoods. In response, we’ve created an online form to make it easier for residents to file a complaint with our Department of Public Services, so we can advocate for you to receive the service you should be able to count on. I’ve also spent a considerable amount of time:

  • Meeting with other community leaders and waste industry experts to assess all of our options,
  • Talking with Priority Waste management to assess their ability to improve service and meet the terms of the contract,
  • Working with our staff, and the Board to hold Priority Waste accountable.

Substantial penalties have been assessed against Priority Waste for these service failures, and we’ve received assurances that delivery of new trucks will lead to better service for the current week and beyond. With your help, we will continue to monitor performance and take appropriate action. In the meantime, I apologize to you on behalf of the Board, and thank you for your help in communicating your concerns.

Respectfully, 

Paul Gieleghem

In the spirit of doing things differently to build a better Clinton Township, we’re hosting an exciting event at Canteen Golf and Billiards on Wednesday, July 23rd, from 5:00 to 9:00 PM. This isn’t your typical campaign event–it’s an opportunity to have fun, connect friends, and support a positive vision for a community. 

 

Take a swing on the same indoor golf simulators used by the pros during our 9 Hole, 2 Person scramble. Prizes will be award for longest drive and closest to the pin—bring a golf partner or come solo and get paired up on site. Prefer pool over putting? Try your hand at Canteen’s real billiards tables enhanced with augmented reality projection systems that are perfect for casual players and geometry pros alike.

Golf clubs are available, or you’re welcome to bring your own! Cash bar and arcade games are also available.

Not into games? No problem, we still would love to have you join us for relaxed evening of socializing and a bite to eat. Everyone is welcome!
