The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Troy collects refuse, recycling and yard waste across the city on its own routes, Monday through Thursday, through the contractor Tringali Sanitation. Household furniture, mattresses, appliances and other bulky items go out on the regular collection day with no appointment, up to two items a week and nothing over 250 pounds. Anything the city excludes, such as remodeling debris, tires, yard waste and electronics, has a different route: a quote from the hauler or a drop-off at the SOCRRA sites on Coolidge, both of which sit inside Troy.
Couches, loveseats, recliners and other household furniture go out on the regular collection day with no appointment, as long as the household stays within two bulky items that week and no piece is over 250 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes. Household furniture only, within the two bulky item weekly limit and under the 250 pound item limit; the city asks for a price quote only when a load is over two cubic yards or is on the excluded list.
When & how
Set the furniture at the curb before 7 a.m. on your collection day and allow 48 hours for removal. Routes run Monday through Thursday and no appointment or phone call is needed.
Get it ready
Keep each piece whole and reachable from the curb. Carpet is the one item the city asks you to cut down: sections of three foot lengths, tied, no wider than three feet and no heavier than 60 pounds, with a limit of two cubic yards of carpet.
Box springs and mattresses of any size are collected at the curb on the regular collection day and count as bulky items, so a household can set out two in a week and each piece has to stay under 250 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, within the two bulky item weekly limit and under the 250 pound item limit.
When & how
Put the mattress out before 7 a.m. on your collection day and allow 48 hours for the hauler to reach it. No appointment or phone call is needed.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and set it where the collection truck can reach it without blocking the sidewalk or a driveway. A mattress counts as one of the two bulky items a household can put out that week.
Washers, dryers, refrigerators and freezers are collected on the regular collection day once the refrigerator or freezer doors are removed and set beside the appliance, with every piece under 250 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, within the two bulky item weekly limit and under the 250 pound item limit.
When & how
Set the appliance out before 7 a.m. on your collection day and allow 48 hours for removal.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer and set them beside the appliance. Drain appliances that hold water, and keep any appliance leaking refrigerant or oil off the curb until it is contained.
Televisions, computers and other electronics do not go in the curbside collection. They go to the SOCRRA drop-off center at 995 Coolidge in Troy by appointment, where residency is checked and personal data should be removed first.
City cost & eligibility
SOCRRA publishes no fee for electronics drop-off, requires an appointment at 995 Coolidge and verifies residency with identification, so confirm the current charge when you book at (248) 288-5150.
When & how
Book an appointment online or by phone at (248) 288-5150, then drop the items off in your appointment window, with no access to the drop-off center after 3 p.m. The site is closed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Get it ready
Remove personal information from every device before drop-off, because SOCRRA does not wipe data for you. Bring identification showing Troy residency, and bring help for heavy items because attendants only assist with items under 40 pounds.
Remodeling debris, concrete, dirt, tires and similar material never goes to the Troy curb. The city routes those loads to its hauler for a price quote or to SOCRRA for a disposal fee.
City cost & eligibility
Tringali Sanitation quotes oversized and excluded loads by phone at 248.585.9120, and SOCRRA takes trash loads at its transfer station for a published per ton rate with a minimum charge, so confirm the current price before you load.
When & how
There is no collection day for this material. Call Tringali at 248.585.9120 for a quote, or haul it to the SOCRRA transfer station at 991 Coolidge in Troy, which takes loads Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for hand unloading and Saturday 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep this material out of the trash cans and out of the recycling cart, because the city excludes it from curbside collection. The excluded list names remodeling debris from building, demolishing, altering or repairing structures such as roofing shingles, siding, paneling, plasterboard, ceiling tile, fencing, railroad ties, decks, scrap lumber, garage doors, furnaces, oil tanks and drums, along with concrete, stone, tile, masonry, dirt, sand, hot ashes, hazardous chemicals, tires, large vehicle parts and car batteries.
Exercise equipment rides the bulky item route, so a treadmill, bench or machine goes out with the regular collection when the household has room in its two item weekly allowance and the piece is under 250 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, for equipment within the two bulky item weekly limit and under the 250 pound item limit. The city's published examples of bulky items name furniture, appliances, mattresses and carpet, so confirm an unusual piece with Tringali at 248.585.9120 before setting it out.
When & how
Set the equipment at the curb before 7 a.m. on your collection day with the rest of the household's bulky items and allow 48 hours for removal.
Get it ready
Empty any water or oil reservoir before the piece goes out and take off parts that would make the load unstable at the curb. Keep loose electronic parts out of the recycling cart and route them to SOCRRA if they are on the electronics list.
Anything bulky that fits the city's limits goes out on the regular collection day, up to two items a week, as long as the household also stays inside the two cubic yard weekly limit for regular set-outs.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, for household material within the two bulky item weekly limit, the 250 pound item limit and the two cubic yard weekly volume limit.
When & how
Put bulky items out before 7 a.m. on your collection day and allow 48 hours for removal. No appointment or phone call is needed for items inside the limits, and over sized loads need a quote first.
Get it ready
Keep bags at 40 pounds or less and cans between 10 and 35 gallons with lids and handles and under 60 pounds. The only larger container the city allows is a 90 gallon polycart purchased from Tringali at 248.585.9120. Keep yard waste, tires, construction material and hazardous waste out of the load.
Routes run Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. until the work is finished. Material can be placed at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. on the previous day and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, and containers should come back in within 24 hours.
Bulky items go out with the regular collection day without an appointment, up to two per week, and the household allows 48 hours for the hauler to reach them. Every piece has to stay under 250 pounds.
Refrigerators and freezers are collected on the regular collection day once the doors are removed and set beside the appliance, so make that part of the prep rather than leaving the unit intact.
Electronics, batteries and yard waste need another route
Electronics and batteries stay out of the curbside collection because of fire and handling risk, and yard waste cannot be collected as trash or in plastic bags. Electronics and batteries go to SOCRRA's drop-off center at 995 Coolidge by appointment, batteries can also go in the container at the Department of Public Works, and yard waste needs the city's stamped container or a paper yard waste bag during the season.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Troy Department of Public Works and Tringali Sanitation

Cost & conditions
No charge. Troy residential addresses served by the city's contracted collection routes, for household material within the two bulky item weekly limit, the 250 pound item limit and the two cubic yard weekly volume limit.
Arrange it
Set the items at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before and before 7 a.m. on the collection day, and allow 48 hours for removal. No appointment or phone call is needed for household material inside the limits.
Remodeling debris, concrete, dirt, yard waste, tires, car batteries and hazardous chemicals are excluded from the curbside service. Loads over two cubic yards and any single item over 250 pounds need a quote from Tringali at 248.585.9120 first.
Households clearing out a move, a flood or fire clean-out, or remodeling material that the curbside collection does not take.
Cost & conditions
Tringali Sanitation quotes these loads by phone at 248.585.9120 and publishes no rate table, so confirm the current price before the material is scheduled.
Arrange it
Call Tringali at 248.585.9120, describe the load, and follow the instruction the hauler gives for where the material should be placed.
This route covers material the city excludes from curbside collection, such as remodeling debris, concrete, dirt, tires and large vehicle parts. It is a separate charge from the regular household collection and does not replace the weekly route.
Both of SOCRRA's operating sites sit inside Troy, which makes the self-haul routes short. The drop-off center at 995 Coolidge takes electronics, household hazardous waste, styrofoam, batteries and paper shredding by appointment for member community residents, and the transfer station at 991 Coolidge takes trash loads by weight without an appointment during limited weekday and Saturday hours. The Department of Public Works at 4693 Rochester Rd keeps a cardboard dumpster and a battery container open to residents at any time. Neither Coolidge site takes yard waste, and no SOCRRA facility accepts brush, branches or woody tree material: the authority directs yard waste to its Spurt-SOCRRA compost site at 1741 School Road in Rochester Hills, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Confirm the drop-off arrangement with the site before loading, and keep using the city's stamped container or a paper yard waste bag in season.
