Luckily, having cart service with Granger means your cart will be replaced free of charge in most cases. If your cart is in need of repair, contact us and we’ll deliver another cart to you on our next delivery day.

Your Curby cart is bound to smell less than pleasant at some point. That’s what happens when you put trash in something. Though we don’t replace carts because they smell, we have a few suggestions for keeping your cart smelling fresher:

• Bag all your trash. This will help keep your cart cleaner.
• Partially fill the cart with water and add some bleach and let it sit for a day or two. Scrub and clean. The bleach will soak into the plastic and it will help to sanitize the cart.
• Power wash it. We know some of you out there love an excuse to use the power washer.
• Put a few moth balls in the bottom of the cart after every service. This helps with smells and also with keeping those pesky critters at bay. Of course, if you hate the smell of moth balls, we don’t recommend this option.

If you know you are paid up on your bill, we probably didn’t take your cart. And as unlikely as it may seem, carts do get stolen occasionally. If your cart comes up missing, use our cart request form.

Once in a while, you may find that one of your neighbors is putting trash in your cart. And although it might be fun to play detective for a while, unfortunately, our customer service representatives and drivers can’t track down the culprit for you. If you happen to find some evidence (like a piece of mail with a name and address on it) in your trash, contact your local police department.

Yes. Residential customers with weekly trash service are eligible to receive a free month of trash service when they refer others who sign up for service. The new customer must mention the referring customer when signing up for service.

Due to a number of variables, it's difficult for us to post pricing on our website. However, we'd be happy to give you a price quote.

The first time you use the Portal, you will need to set up an account using your account number and billing address. Once you have done this, you will create a username and password you will use to log in to the Portal on future visits. You will not need your account number after the initial setup.

Whenever you exceed the number of bags allowed with your service, you will see a charge for each extra bag. If you’re unsure of how many bags you’re allowed to set out or feel you have been incorrectly charged, please contact us.

The Customer Portal is a completely different system, so you will not be able to use your old credentials. You will need to set up an account before using the Customer Portal for the first time.

You may see LARGE BULK ITEM CHARGE or SMALL BULK ITEM CHARGE on your invoice. These charges refer to items that don’t fit in your bags or Curby cart, such as appliances (large bulk), furniture (large bulk), microwaves (small bulk) or shop vacs (small bulk). Collection of these items is not included in your monthly charge for trash collection. If you believe this charge was made in error, please contact us.

Yes! You can make a payment in the Customer Portal using either a credit card or your bank account number. Better yet, you can sign up for autopay (using either of these payment methods) in the Portal to make bill payment as convenient and simple as possible.

Waste generated in Michigan is subject to state, county and local surcharges. These are pass through surcharges, which means the authorizing agencies place the responsibility on companies like Granger that manage your waste to collect them and then pay them to the agency. These fees are structured differently and have a variety of purposes. As a result, Granger Waste Services assesses state, county and local surcharges on customer invoices, currently 3.0% of all invoice charges.

This charge allows Granger Waste Services to collectively recover a portion of its overall enterprise-wide costs associated with host community fees, government surcharges and ordinance fees paid to municipal or other governmental authorities or agencies to engage in the waste collection, transfer, processing, disposal, treatment and/or recycling business. The amount or percentage of the surcharge fee is not specifically tied to the direct or indirect costs to service a specific customer account, but to Granger’s overall applicable enterprise-wide governmental costs for all customers, whether they pay this charge or not.

The Customer Portal can be used for the following useful activities and more:

• Viewing your amount due
• Paying your bill
• Setting up autopay
• Seeing old invoices and payments
• Viewing services and route schedule

There are several convenient ways to pay your Granger bill.

The fuel surcharge is a recurring fee that is a variable percentage of all invoice charges except the state/county/local surcharges.

This surcharge is intended to help Granger Waste Services recover fuel costs associated with the operation of its collection, transfer, landfill and recycling services and facilities.
