Farmington Fall Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Days

Farmington Fall Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Days

October 6 and 20

Two fall Farmington Fall Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Days will be held on Saturday, October 6 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Novi Civic Center at 45175 West Ten Mile Road in Novi, and on Saturday, October 20 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Recycling Authority headquarters at 20000 West Eight Mile Road in Southfield (enter via Mapleridge, one block east of Evergreen).

Residents of Farmington Hills, Farmington, Novi, South Lyon, Lyon Township, Southfield, Walled Lake, and Wixom are all eligible to attend either of the Fall Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Days with proof of residency.

Acceptable items include common household products such as cleaners, oil-based paints, herbicides, insecticides, and solvents.  These materials can be safely disposed of by bringing them to the drop-off day in containers that are labeled and do not hold more than five gallons or weigh more than 50 pounds.  Document shredding is also available, with a 100-pound limit per household.

Electronic waste is accepted including televisions, radios, computers, and computer components such as CPUs, monitors, printers, and keyboards.  The following items are not accepted: commercial or business waste, unknowns over five gallons, smoke detectors, radioactive waste, ammunition or explosives.

Latex paint is also not accepted because it’s not considered hazardous waste.  If the can is full, pour some out onto newspapers and then add sand or kitty litter to the amount left in the can. The remaining paint will solidify in a few days.  Once it is completely solid, place the can in a plastic garbage bag and throw it out with your regular trash.

For a complete list of items accepted at the drop-off days, and a list of green non-toxic alternatives, call RRRASOC (Resource, Recovery and Recycling Authority of Southwest Oakland County) at 248-208-2270 or visit www.RRRASOC.org.
