ANNOUNCEMENT:  PRIORITY WASTE HAS IMPLEMENTED A NEW LINK ON THEIR WEBSITE TO REPORT MISSED SERVICES DIRECTLY!
We are pleased to announce that Priority Waste has added a link to their website for self reporting of missed services. 

To find the link go to www.prioritywaste.com and navigate to the Servcies tab at the top right side of the page.  Then select Muncipalities and look for White Lake Township. Once on the White Lake page, scroll to the middle of the page where it says Residential Services Request - White Lake Township and complete the form.  You may select to receive text or email updates on the progress of your missed service. 

The direct link to the missed services page is: https://www.prioritywaste.com/municipality/white-lake-township-mi/

Once residents submit their missed service request; they will be automatically added to Priority's portal for the lead contact for White Lake to follow to completion. 

Additionally, any service requests received via phone call to Priority Waste @ (586) 228-1200 will be added to this portal by the lead contact. However, using the on-line form is the fastest option.
