The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.
The new laptop is working. The old monitor, tower and printer are still taking up a corner. Give the equipment you no longer use a pickup day, with the price settled before anyone arrives.
An exact price for your actual items.
Choose each device and see the total online. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. No visit just to find out the price.
A day to get it done.
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date shown at checkout. Prepare your devices and have them outside before pickup.
Updates through the handoff.
Get a booking confirmation, a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. Your retired equipment is one less thing to keep track of.
A separate monitor and tower count separately. Small devices and cables have their own box option. Choose what is actually leaving so your price matches the pickup.
Monitor, desktop or laptop.
Choose Computer monitor for each separate display. Desktop computer covers one tower or one all-in-one computer. A laptop is its own item. Add only the devices going.
Printer or office copier.
A printer with a built-in scanner belongs under Printer. A floor-standing copy machine belongs under Office copier. The shape matters more than the brand.
A box of smaller electronics.
Use Box of electronics for small devices, cables and chargers together in one box. For a large or heavy box, unusual contents or separate batteries, send a photo and confirm the fit before booking.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.

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.
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.
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.

Troy Department of Public Works drop-off containers
4693 Rochester Rd, Troy, MI
Broken down cardboard in the dumpster, and alkaline, lithium, lithium-ion and NiCad household batteries in the battery container.
Troy residents only. Only cardboard goes in the dumpster, with no trash mixed in. Do not leave batteries that will not fit the container or that are leaking, damaged or swollen, and take batteries out of plastic bags before placing them inside.
Available on the Department of Public Works grounds at any time, including weekends and after business hours. Both containers are emptied as needed.
The city lists these containers as a resident convenience and publishes no fee for them, so call the Department of Public Works at 248.524.3392 to confirm before bringing a large load.
Electronics from the same accepted list SOCRRA publishes, which includes computer monitors, CPUs, televisions, radios, telephones and cell phones.
Residents of SOCRRA member communities only, with identification, because the site is offered through the authority rather than to the general public. Enter at the warehouse door on the south side of the building next to the restaurant and ring the bell for help with heavy items.
Call (248) 233-4477 for the current hours, because the site does not publish a schedule.
SOCRRA lists this location as an electronics route but publishes no rate for it, so confirm the current charge by phone at (248) 233-4477 before you load.
