Residential Food Waste Drop-Off Program

Starting soon, residents can drop food scraps at the DPW facility 24/7 — "if it grows, it goes" — plus recycle batteries there. The long-term goal is curbside food waste commingled with yard waste by 2027, with Troy earning Michigan Green Communities Gold status along the way.
