West Bloomfield woman says Priority Waste sent her a delinquency notice despite paid bill
A West Bloomfield woman says she got a “Notice of Delinquency” from Priority Waste, even though she says she’s paid her bill. It’s the latest billing blunder in a string of issues she says she’s had with the company.
Sonya Khal says her concerns with Priority Waste started when the company took over her trash service about 1.5 years ago.
In the beginning months, she says she didn’t get her bill because it was addressed to a couple who hasn’t lived in the home for over a decade.
“When you first get something in the mail and it’s not addressed to you, you write ‘Return to Sender,’” Khal said.
So, she did that for months.

‘I was treated like an animal’: Federal jury awards $307.6M to Michigan inmate denied surgery over cost
A federal jury returned a $307.6M verdict after a former Michigan inmate said he served over two years with a leaking, foul-smelling colostomy bag, and said the state prison health provider refused to pay for surgery as a cost-cutting move.
The verdict came down on April 2, 2026, after years of allegations that the company, Corizon Health, deliberately denied a medically necessary surgery on Kohchise Jackson.
It was not for any medical reason, but because it was cheaper to force him to live with a colostomy bag in prison, where he was subjected to physical abuse by other inmates as a result, the man’s attorney said.
