Recycling in Troy, Michigan

Tringali Sanitation handles Troy's trash and bulk pickup Monday through Thursday, starting at 7:00 AM, and recycling goes out weekly on the same day. Every recyclable goes loose in one cart and ends up at SOCRRA's sorting plant. SOCRRA's drop-off center at 995 Coolidge, between 14 Mile and Maple, takes what the cart refuses: batteries, styrofoam, oversized plastics, electronics, and household hazardous waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the Troy, MI recycling cart?

Troy runs mixed recycling, so paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans, and plastic all go loose in one cart with no sorting. The city takes plastic container codes 1 through 7, glass bottles and jars of any color, empty aerosol cans, paperback books, and milk and juice cartons. Flatten cardboard into pieces no larger than 3 feet by 3 feet. Shredded paper goes in a clear plastic bag inside the cart.

What can't I recycle at the curb in Troy?

Plastic wrap, plastic bags of any kind, styrofoam, and batteries stay out of the cart. Pyrex, china, ceramics, mirrors, coffee cups, plates, and window glass are refused too. Rigid plastics bigger than a 5-gallon bucket go to SOCRRA at 995 Coolidge by appointment, along with styrofoam (no packing peanuts).

Use the 24-hour battery container at the Department of Public Works yard, 4693 Rochester Rd., open nights and weekends. It takes alkaline, lithium, lithium-ion, and NiCad batteries.
