About Priority Waste
Priority Waste is the contracted trash hauler for 26 of the 30 metro Detroit towns we track. In Detroit it serves the east side and southwest Detroit south of I-94. Many of these towns switched from GFL to Priority in 2024, so some city pages, trucks, and carts may still say GFL.
Several cities list Priority Waste's customer service line as 586-228-1200.
