Canton's curbside collection uses 64-gallon carts. The larger carts are equipped with lids to promote a cleaner community and have wheels to make getting recyclables to the curb easier and more convenient. Carts should be placed on your
driveway apron and not in the street. They should also be placed
on the opposite side of your drive from your refuse, leaving at
least 6 inches around the cart so the mechanical arm on the
truck can easily fit around the cart. Hinges and handles
should face towards your residence with the lifting bar facing
the street.
View more information on proper cart placement (PDF). All recyclables must be placed inside
the cart, anything left on the side of the cart will not be
picked up. Please note, carts are for recyclables only, yard
waste will not be accepted inside the cart. Please continue to
put yard waste in 32-gallon containers or paper yard waste bags. On non-collection days carts should be
stored inside your garage or under your carport. If you do not
have a garage or carport or do not have adequate room, then
please store it beside your residence. Your Home Owner's
Association may have additional rules about placement that you
will need to comply with. All carts are owned by Canton however
homeowners will be responsible for the care of the cart. All
damage must be immediately reported to
Priority services at 844‑464‑3587. If the
damage was caused by the collection vehicle or the operator,
then
Priority will replace the cart at no charge. If damage or theft
is from any other cause, the resident will be responsible for
replacement. OPT OUT WAIVER - If
after you receive the cart you wish to opt out of the service
you can
download the waiver (PDF). Once completed please mail it or
drop it off at Canton Public Works located at 4847 Sheldon Road,
just south of Michigan Avenue. Once the waiver is completed,
please allow two-weeks for collection of the cart. Since
the carts are owned by the township, Canton will store the cart
until the property changes ownership or the service is desired.
Please note, waiving this service WILL NOT reduce the
annual fee. Residents who do opt out are welcome to
bring recyclables (during Canton Clean-up) to the
Priority facility
on Van Born Road. If your house gets missed you must
report it to
Priority that day, otherwise
Priority will not be able to
pick up your recyclables until your next regular collection day.
