Our weekly service provider for curbside collection of trash and recyclable materials is Priority Waste, effective July 1, 2024. You may still see GFL Environmental trucks servicing totes over the next few months as the collection transitions to Priority Waste.

Contact Priority Waste directly for missed pickups, concerns/comments and questions regarding billing by using the online form at https://www.prioritywaste.com/municipality/northville-township-mi/, calling (586) 228-1200, using the chat function on its website www.prioritywaste.com or email at NorthvilleTownshipLDC@Prioritywaste.com.

In an effort to keep our Township neat and clean, residents must use Township-provided 64- and 96-gallon refuse wheeled carts and recycling carts with hinged lids as part of the Township’s refuse hauling contract. Carts will be the property of Northville Township and must remain at the assigned property.  Please note that Northville Township only provides one trash and one recycling cart per household. Additional ones may be obtained ordering directly through Priority Waste online, at www.prioritywaste.com, and selecting the “Buy Cart” option or calling (855) 927-8365. 

If a lid or cart is damaged, please contact the DPW at dpw@twp.northville.mi.us or call (248) 348-5819.

Collection of rubbish, recyclables and compostable for the Township is Monday through Thursday. Friday is open for delayed holiday week’s collection.

Recycling

Recycling makes an impact on the environment by decreasing the amount of waste that ends up in our area landfills. Unfortunately, not every item can be recycled in the curbside pickup program.  See flyer with guidelines for the curbside recycling program.  

Do NOT recycle:

• Grease-soaked cardboard (i.e., pizza boxes)
• Plastic bags
• Styrofoam
• Pill bottles
• Paint cans

How to Be a Good Recycler

You can contaminate an entire truckload of recyclables, sending the truckload to a landfill rather than a recycling facility, unless you take these important steps. To ensure they are recycled:

• Rinse and empty your item of any remaining product
• FLATTEN boxes and cardboard
• Check plastic items for recycling number 1-7
• Avoid unaccepted items like a greasy pizza box or plastic bag

More Recycling Resources

Items that are not accepted for curbside pickup may still be recyclable. Please reference Michigan EGLE's recycling directory or Earth 911 for locations that will accept materials such as plastic bags, film, electronics, cell phone batteries and foam.
