Priority Waste Asks Residents in the Metro Detroit Area to Keep Dumpster Lids Closed

Priority Waste has experienced an increase in weight across the board when emptying onsite dumpsters rented by residential and commercial customers. The drivers have witnessed that the increase in weight is often due to heavy rains or snow accumulating inside of the dumpsters.  “We want to warn residential customers and dumpster renters to keep lids on the dumpsters closed whenever possible to avoid the unnecessary accumulation,” said a company spokesman.  “It works out better for everyone when the equipment takes on less stress – leading to more wear and tear and earlier replacements.”

“Along with rain, ice and snow building up in the dumpsters with open lids, it also makes it easy for animals, such as stray cats, rodents, raccoons, and other animals to fall into dumpsters, or crawl into them, looking for shelter from inclement weather, or for food. Drivers and other Priority Waste personnel don't want these animals dumped into their trucks, as it poses imminent danger to them and the animals.”
