Recycling Center in Troy, Michigan
About This Location
SOCRRA (Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority) operates its Recycling Drop-Off Center at 995 Coolidge in Troy, MI 48084 — between 14 Mile and Maple roads — serving residents of its 12 member communities (Berkley, Beverly Hills, Birmingham, Clawson, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, and Troy) as well as eligible residents of Bingham Farms, the City of Bloomfield Hills, Franklin, Rochester, and Rochester Hills. All drop-offs are by appointment only, and there is no access to the drop-off center after 3 PM. It is a genuine public-benefit facility — not a commercial hauler — where residents can responsibly dispose of mixed recyclables, cardboard, styrofoam, scrap metal, household batteries, electronics, household hazardous waste (HHW), and paper. Businesses are not eligible. Schedule an appointment at socrra.org before arriving.
