GFL staffing issues have led to a delay in curbside trash pickup for a few days before the new trash hauler contract begins. The new trash hauler contract is set to begin on June 3.

The new $40 million contract will be in place for five years.

Lorna Slenkai says GFL trash trucks were leaving behind a trail of so-called ‘Garbage Juice,’ sometimes along a mile stretch.

The 50-year-old wooden bridge is failing and the weight limit has been reduced to 9 tons by the Road Commission for Oakland County. It will be replaced next year, which means no school buses or garbage trucks can cross.

One of the loaders working the back of the GFL garbage truck in Livonia for the past two days could keep up the pace despite it being his first day on the job.

Residents across Metro Detroit have been reporting delays in their trash pickup schedule.

A large pile of flood debris is now perched in the parking lot at the former Hawthorne Valley Golf Course in Westland.
