City Hall

More than 230 sign up for food waste drop-off

More than 230 residents have signed up for Troy's free residential food waste drop-off program, @troymichigan posted. Residents collect food waste at home and drop it in bins at the Department of Public Works, 4693 Rochester Road, at the back of the employee parking lot, open 24/7. My Green Michigan takes the waste to a commercial composting facility, and finished compost will be free for Troy residents to pick up at the Spurt compost site in Rochester Hills. The city's goal, with SOCRRA, is to add curbside food waste collection. Registration and program guidelines are at troymi.gov/foodwaste.
