The Coolidge Highway site in Troy houses a self-service drop-off center that takes mixed recycling, flattened cardboard, foam packaging, and scrap metal such as pots, pans, and hot water heaters, plus a paper shredder, household hazardous waste, and electronics.

A transfer station across the street takes trash, and yard waste goes to the Spurt-SOCRRA compost site in Rochester Hills.

Review

Yard waste is still accepted here if you missed the December cutoff for curbside collection. Note that some of the employees can be a bit on the grumpy side but I probably would be too if I had to stand outside all day in the cold snow wind heat sun and / or rain. Friday appointments can be hard to come by unless you're willing to wait a week or two. Also watch for debris in the parking lot as I've had a couple of screws and nails in my tire the next day probably not a coincidence.

Review

First requiring an appointment to drop off two UPS batteries isn't exactly encouraging recycling. Second the number of available appointments each day is very limited—the soonest I could find is over a week away. Why is it necessary to require appointments for small household waste? What’s the reason for such limited availability? And why not allow people to drop off certain items anytime like the recycling bins provided by some local shops?

Review

This is the best recycling place in Michigan that I know of. They accept metal cardboard boxes most plastic electronic devices and other miscellaneous stuff. It is extremely organized and pretty clean. The people here are very helpful and very courteous. Every city in America should have a place like this. I can't wait for it to reopen again.
