Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Events return to RRRASOC communities on October 5 and 26! Residents will be able to safely discard various hard-to-recycle items, from household chemicals and pesticides to electronics and pill-form drugs. A full list of acceptable items can be found on our HHW page.

The upcoming event on October 5 will take place at the Novi Department of Public Works, located at 26300 Lee BeGole Drive in Novi, while the event on October 26 will take place at the truck entrance to the RRRASOC Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), located at 20875 Mapleridge Avenue in Southfield. Both events will run from 9am to 2pm. Simple Recycling will be available to accept donations of clothing and small household items during the event held on October 26.

To visualize the types of acceptable HHW items that may be in your home, check out the helpful graphics below!

For additional HHW disposal tips, check out our informative flyer! It contains event dates, info on how to identify and transport HHW, why proper HHW management is important, accepted and non-accepted items, and more!

The answer is YES!

Bottle caps can be recycled as long as they stay on the bottle. Loose caps from water bottles, juice bottles, milk cartons, and more are too small to be recycled on their own as they can often get lost during the automated sorting process and then have to be landfilled. Keeping them on the bottle ensures that they are recycled into new plastic products over and over again!

During the following HHW Collection Events, all residents of RRRASOC member communities are welcome to bring household hazardous waste for an opportunity to safely discard their hazardous items and e-waste. Simple Recycling and paper shredding services will also be available*.
