The City of Troy is proud to have offered a recycling program for decades, to conserve energy and reduce landfilling. Currently, the City is contracted with Rumpke for the pick-up and removal of recyclable materials.
What items are recyclable in the City of Troy?
Cardboard
Paper, including colored paper, glossy paper, newsprint and "windowed" envelopes

Residents can also participate in the Hefty ReNew™ program for hard to recycle plastics, using special ReNew™ bags. These bags can be purchased at local stores, filled with plastics only, and placed in the recycling bin. More information is available here.

Using your Recycling Toter
Because Rumpke uses automated trucks, your toters must be accessible to use with lift-arms. Please keep all recyclable items inside the cart and make sure they are not obstructing the lid from closing. Any items that are placed next to the cart will not be picked up. If you place any items on top of the cart, your cart will not be emptied.
