A long Story, full of disappointment and lack of professionalism. The summary: In the summer of 2024 I ordered a new trash bin from the Priority Webpage. After 2 months without having the bin delivered, I called and was told they were running late, I waited another month. In September I called to get the operation cancelled. I was told it would be cancelled and my money returned under my original form of payment, after weeks of that didn't happening I contacted my credit card company and disputed the charge ( 135.68 usd). On my next billing priority is still charging me for a trash bin that was never delivered. I contacted them several times via phone and with their website. Explained the situation multiple times, to multiple people from their customer service team. They always said they would need to review it with their management. Nothing happened. They keep asking for the money of a product they never delivered. read more

3 weeks of not picking up our trash. Everyone on the blocks cans are overflowing and animals are getting into it. It stinks and is becoming a health problem. read more

we paid for trash pick up (6months) and the day they were supposed to come, they were "behind". We called to check and they said they were just running behind but still coming.... that was Tuesday. It is now FRIDAY, we have called on 3 different occ and tried to leave messages and mever get a call back when they are "looking into it". They have 0 communication!! Dont bother with this place, there's a reason they have less than a 2 on reviews. I guess we'll have to try again Monday, for a REFUND! I wish we could give half stars or zeros. read more

Service and value - they are very reliable - a missed pick up here and there but overall very good.

So tired of calling and having to wait 24 hours for a call back. Horrible customer service

If I could put a 0 on rating my experience I would. That was not a choice. Having experienced problems for over a year when they took over the contract. Nothing was picked up again yesterday. The animals got into the trash bag overnight and some of the contents are on the dirt road (I live in the country). After trying all of the names and numbers, messages left, and online requests made, Priority finally picked yard waste, recyclables, and trash were picked up. Unfortunately, there is trash on the road had fallen out. I refuse to pick it up. If they had picked it up on time, I wouldn't have to. I called them again and told them they had to pick it up. It was their fault. I have spent half a day with this problem. I have more important things to do than being on hold most of the day. This is getting ridiculous. All anyone gets is excuses. I am done with that. read more

They frequently miss pick ups. Phone calls are literally torture. You are placed on hold while some awful music blasts in your ear. I mean it. It is some lyrics about "I love my trash...!" It is disturbing! They do not return your call as promised. Their website is is so bad they do not even recognize the city of 800,000 people that I live in. These clowns are as bad as GFL only worse. I hope you are able to find another company because you don't want these jokers. read more

You are a horrible trash removal company!! YOU DON'T PICK UP!!!!! My trash has been sitting in front of my house since Sunday night for my pick up on Monday! It is now Friday and its still there!!! I've sent emails, talked to Lindaay, Heather and Mike who all guaranteed it would be picked up. THEY ALL LIED!!!! You all are useless workers!!! From the office personnel to the guys on the trucks!!! Horrible!! read more

After 40 plus years in Chesterfield this was the first time I called the township to complain about this trash company. I have Never complained about Any company, or service before. This company is inconsistent and many times my garbage is still in the street the next day. I had to drag my FULL trash can back into the garage this week. I tried to call Priority with a TWO HOUR wait, three times! They called me back, and then hung-UP! Didn't call me back. I hope we can vote to kick them to the curb... read more

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with! Trash was left on my front yard for a week, and every time you try and call it's a 4 hour wait. They will not adjust your bill for not doing their job, and the township does nothing. We are stuck paying this POS company regardless if they do their job or not!!! NO SERVICE, NO QUALITY, NO VALUE. TOTAL CRAP. Can't give 0 stars. read more

Ever since this HORRIBLE company picked up the contract our streets and yards are littered with garbage they let blow all around nearly every week. 9 times out of 10 they don't pick up all three: trash, recycling, or compost/yard bags or combination of the sorts weekly. Their workers smoke and look like trash themselves...they even break bins and I'm supposed to get the truck #, what time of day, and take pictures of the broken items and then email them through some horrible form that doesn't work for them to CONSIDER processing my claim?! I don't think so...absolutely HORRIBLE service and even worse customer service, what a joke of a company! Help!!!!! read more

Disappointed with Priority Waste, had two extra bags next to my waste can and they didn't take it. Everybody is spring cleaning and has extra waste this time of year. So far I give them an "E." read more

I live in Sterling Heights and we are using this company starting May 1, 2024. Their policies regarding the 1 container for refuse is in and of itself garbage. Not a fan, not happy about the switch Also recycling is actually more harmful for the planet, most recycled items can't be and are sent to a standard dump any way, There are now twice as many trucks on the roads polluting the atmosphere, twice as many process stations, etc.... This recycle bin thing is well,..... garbage too! read more

Dumping recyclables into garbage truck! This is the fourth time that I have witnessed this and called both priority and township office! The materials that I put in to be recycled are easily recyclable! Glass and cans, and papers! I do not want this stuff going into a landfill! Also, I am tired of taking my dog for a walk after priority has picked up, the amount of garbage and litter that has either missed the truck or flown out is appalling! It is not my job to pick up after them but my neighborhood is where I live and I don't like it being "trashed "! The people that they hire don't give a darn! Management doesn't give a darn! The word I used wasn't darn! No one cares about the job they do! read more

Trucks are speeding well above the 25mph speed limit on neighborhood streets. When I shouted to slow down as the truck sped west, the driver came back driving east and took the opportunity to blow his horn long and loud at me. Near a local grocery store with adults kids crossing the street. I plan to lodge a complaint with the city and the company. read more

They missed picking up my trash again! Called them 4 times and e mailed them twice. My trash can is still in the street. pick up wad supposed to be 5 days ago! Priority garbage. read more

The service this year, 2025 has been completely unreliable. Pickups are made late in the evening or not at all. Trash should have been picked up yesterday the only pickup was recycle. The garbage is still at the curb and with the intense heat the smell is horrible. Macomb Township should definitely look for a different company to provide service. read more

Wish I could give no stars, horrible service and rude ignorant employees. All in all the most garbage, garbage pickup ever. Absolutely the worst. No explanation needed IYKYK. read more

unreal I ordered 2 trash bins over 3 months ago and still haven't recieved them. I call and call but they never answer the phone. I even leave a call back number but they never call back. WTF is wrong with this company. i have never had a problem dealing with GFL. read more

This is for priority waste and the 2 gentleman that picked up the trash on Burlington drive in Sterling Heights today 8/15/25. THANK YOU! You guys went above and beyond during this tough time I was facing and the world needs more people like you in it. read more

Ignore the 1 star bc they deserve 0. 4th time they missed just our house for trash on our street. They've missed our whole street about 9 times total now as well. You call and are on hold for 30 minutes for them to tell you they'll come today, well that's what you've told me the last two days and yet here we are with my can full of trash at the end of my driveway still. Hopefully our township fines them soon as well bc they are truly a trash company. read more

No stars but I had to select one to allow to post. They are terrible. Our garbage has been sitting at the curb for nearly 5 days. The whole sub and the two adjacent- no pickup in 80 degree weather. Unacceptable. read more

They missed pickups for whole weeks. Regular trash bins, and Compost pick up were out for over a week and the compost was out long enough to kill the lawn it was sitting on. I called them 3 times and was told they would send a truck to pick up and they did not. I could see once in a while this happening, but it was over 8 times in the past few months. I actually started documenting this by taking pictures of the trash still out 6 days after it was supposed to be taken. not just one home but whole blocks. read more

It could hardly be worse. they throw around the garbage cans, break them, steal them, and assume no responsibility. Half the trash remains in the bin. Their customer service is rude and will not help. Ridiculous bunch, from pick-up personnel to customer agents. I'd fire them if I could. zero stars!! read more

I have been calling and using your chat support since the first week in July, 2024. Because you have not normally picked-up on the schedule service day of Friday and there has been approximately 8-9 weeks of totally missed pick ups greater than 3-4 days. You did not picked Friday 08.23.2024, Friday 08.30.2024 and tomorrow will be Friday 09.06.2024 I know this is a holiday week but it will be 3 weeks this Friday! And I have called and spoken to 4-5 different Managers and sent about the same support tickets. Please no more messages about you are short with working trucks and I'm not asking for a credit. BUT DO NOT CHARGE me for WEEKS when you did not pick-up! And come get my waste container. read more

They empty 2 out of 3 cans left the third one they knocked down full and on its size. Why wasn't it emptied with the other 2.

Horrible company. Do NOT do business with them. They bought out our subdivision's trash collection contract from GFL effective 7/1. We're supposed to have weekly pickup. But today is 7/11 and they've refused to come out. The entire neighborhood's trash has been piled up on the street waiting to be picked up. Trash is blowing around, the smell is awful. But numerous calls to them have resulted in nothing. After being on hold for close to an hour, a "Norman" at Priority Waste gave our HOA a blow-off answer saying, "We'll get to it as soon as possible." That was 4 days ago. Abysmal company who refuses to honor the contract. We're already exploring new bids from alternative vendors. These people are utterly unreliable. Stay far away from them. read more

This is the worst company I've ever worked with. We paid 500 dollars for a dumpster to be dropped off. It was a day late which made us waste labor help. Now it's been over a week late of them coming back to pick it up which has hindered us of getting another dumpster from a different company. Don't ever book anything through them. I've never left a yelp review in my life. That's how terrible they are, it compelled me to have to do this. read more

Awful to deal with. Refused to take our lawn bags 2 weeks in a row due to some dirt with the grass clippings. When called about it they stated they would put in a ticket about it. Never heard back from them. Second week they came by saw the bags and just drove past. Did not even stop. Called back again and they were very rude. read more

This company is horrible and that's being nice. We live in New baltimore they never pickup on time, they pass my house 5 to 6 times and they still don't pickup my trash on the scheduled day, customer service sucks never speak to a live person. Our city switched to this company to save money what a joke. Hope someone buys then out worth ever read more

Horrible and verging on criminal. I wish I could rate Priority Waste LLC lower than 1 star. Their pick-up service is horrible. Pick-up is not consistent, I never know if they are coming back later in the pick-up day or will come back the next day. Their trucks leak. Trash is often left scattered on lawn or street. Priority Waste's customer service is even worse. I never received a bill for 2025 and always paid annually is the past. I just received my first bill for 2025 with two months late fees attached. I tried to call and system automatically put me in a call back que. After a day and a half of no call back from Priority, I tried to call again and the system told me I was still in the call back que. About four hours after my second call, I received a call from Priority Waste Customer Service (should be called Customer NO Service). I explained that this was the first bill I received and should not have to pay late fees. I was told any amount not paid on current bill would be added to my Property Taxes. WHAT A SCAM!! I suspect this how they are passing a price increase. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible!!!! I have no recourse as Customer Service would not let me talk to anyone else and I can't find another number to call. read more

Priority Waste is TERRIBLE. Rude Customer Service Rep named Dave who wants to argue with you instead of resolving the situation. They are not picking up all my trash each week and they promise to come back out and get it and they do not! Hence another phone call! They are rude and you are in their phone system for hours! I've had to call over 10 times regarding one missed week, left in phone Hell listening to a song about loving trash over and over and over and over! Then they claim they will NOT issue a credit when they are not doing what I am paying for! No wonder they have a terrible rating! read more

terrible customer service!! I moved several months ago yet I'm still being charged for services I'm not using! I've tried to call and speak to someone but all it says is they have high call volume and if you don't select a call back the system hangs up on you!!! WTF?!?! I've requested call backs, sent messages and tried to "chat" with an agent online but that was no help at all!!! I want to cancel my service and pay the CORRECT amount for my bill but I can't even find an employee to speak to about this!!! do I have to go in person?? why don't they take customer concerns seriously??!! read more

I was charge an NSF fee even though no funds ever came out of my account and the money was there. I tried to explain the software glitch their company had, but was told I was lucky because they usually charge 50.00 The representative also told me that even the company President would be unable to reverse the charge. Please bring back GFL! read more

I tried multiple times to contact Billing at Priority Service to obtain service at my address. I was kept on hold for ever, even around 8:30 AM. I emailed couple of times. No answers whatsoever. read more

Terrible. I would give zero stars. Switched from GFL to Priority in July 2024 and the driver told my husband they don't get out of the truck to pick up extra garbage bags that aren't in the bin. THAT'S NEW and varies by team because the driver in another area of Shelby got out of the truck and did it at my mothers house in Shelby Twp the next day. I called Priority and they never answer and it eventually hangs up. Online messaging service won't even load. Shelby Twp needs to correct this for it's taxpayers and find another vendor. read more

Priority Waste threw away my recycle bin. Tried contacting them 3 times by phone. Put on hold and no one answers. Left message on their contact form and no one answers.. Not a good experience read more

So far, Priority has done a decent job. A glass broke during the trash collection process, a young picked up the pieces that were large enough to pickup with his hands and disposed the broken glass. Why is that so important. #1, it helped someone not have a flat tire. #2, the gesture showed professionalism. #3, it always pays to do the right thing even when you think no one is watching. #4, its a senior community. Now, all I have to do is sweep the fine pieces of glass Thank you young man... read more

Simply put.....The worlds worst rubbish service, ever! If you're part of a township or city pick up, my sympathies. If you're a stand alone customer, get out now. If you're looking at Priority, look elsewhere. You'll thank me later read more

I called for help with making a payment on the website and failing 4 times in a row. They just make me feel like I am crazy and inept.
