Sterling Heights Hosts Successful Household Hazardous Waste Event in Partnership with Priority Waste

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - April 21, 2025 - PRLog -- The City of Sterling Heights, in partnership with Priority Waste, successfully hosted a large-scale Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event this past weekend as part of the city's Spring Clean-Up Days initiative.

Despite overcast skies, hundreds of residents came out to safely dispose of hazardous materials, including motor oil, paint, fuels, pesticides, and household chemicals. Events like this play a crucial role in protecting local ecosystems and preventing dangerous substances from entering landfills or stormwater systems.

Priority Waste coordinated the collection process, ensuring efficient traffic flow, secure containment, and compliance with all safety protocols. Trained staff and volunteers sorted through materials to properly identify and handle hazardous substances.

"Community-driven events like this help us keep our neighborhoods clean, safe, and environmentally responsible," said a representative from Priority Waste. "It's always inspiring to see so many residents take part in sustainable solutions."

The event was part of Sterling Heights' ongoing efforts to provide residents with environmentally conscious disposal options and continue building a cleaner, greener city.
