Trash, recycling and yard waste pickup in Superior Township should be getting back to normal this weekend.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for residents in the township as the transition from Good for Life to Priority Waste has been, in the words of Township Supervisor Ken Schwartz, “a disaster.”
GFL was recently purchased by PW, but something went wrong, and trash began to pile up.
During a special meeting this week, a Priority Waste spokesman apologized to the Board of Trustees and the public for the slow and uncoordinated start of service. Board members expressed their displeasure that they were never notified while the sale was being negotiated, but company spokesman Sam Caramagno told the board they couldn’t under SEC rules.
He also says the entire township should be caught up on Saturday with regular pickups back on the regular schedule next week. Caramagno also says any bins that have been damaged will be replaced at no cost as will new carts when necessary.
Schwartz says he will keep the community informed with any updates.
