Recycling Information

rrrasoc logo 2016 (web)As of January 1, 2016, the Village of Milford has joined the Resource Recovery and Recycling Authority of Southwest Oakland County (RRRASOC), which expanded offerings for recycling, household hazardous waste, and electronic waste disposal services to our residents. These enhanced services are available to Village residents at no additional cost to the services that were already in place.
