Recycling in Troy: A Local Guide
Troy, in Oakland County, has two recycling facilities with complementary but distinct scopes. SOCRRA serves registered residents with a full-service drop-off for mixed recyclables, electronics, and household hazardous waste. Remove Recycle Remarket is a commercial e-waste and IT asset recycler primarily oriented toward businesses.
SOCRRA (Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority) at 995 Coolidge Hwy is the primary public option for Troy residents. It is open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM — but all drop-offs require an appointment (schedule at socrra.org or call 248-288-5150), and there is no access after 3:00 PM on weekdays. Eligible residents can drop off mixed recyclables, flattened cardboard, styrofoam, scrap metal, household batteries, electronics (computers, TVs, phones, printers, game systems), paper shredding, and household hazardous waste (HHW) including oil-based paint, motor oil, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, propane tanks, and medications. The service is free for residents of SOCRRA's 12 member communities and several neighboring cities; Rochester and Rochester Hills residents must purchase a city voucher in advance for HHW and electronics. Residency is verified by an attendant — bring ID. Businesses are not eligible.
Remove Recycle Remarket LLC at 1343 Rochester Rd has been handling electronics and IT asset recycling for businesses since 2003. It accepts electronic waste, light bulbs, heavy equipment, and surplus pallets, with drop-off bins located behind the north side building. Its focus is commercial ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) and responsible e-waste disposal for companies rather than residential curbside recycling. Hours and pricing are not published on its official site; call (248) 677-3474 before visiting to confirm what you can bring and whether individual/household drop-offs are accommodated.
