Did You Get New Electronics for Christmas? Here's What to Do with the Old Ones
You can take your old computers and other electronics to RRRASOC or wait for next year's household hazardous waste collection days.
If you received a new computer, TV, DVD player, cell phone or other electronic device for Christmas, don't just toss the old one into the trash.
Farmington and Farmington Hills are part of the Resource Recovery and Recycling Authority of Southwest Oakland County (RRRASOC), so residents have a couple of options when it comes to getting rid of "e-waste":
Recycle it at the RRRASOC Southfield location, through a program offered in conjunction with Vintage Tech Recyclers.
