Back by popular demand, Bloomfield Township is hosting Electronic Waste Recycling, Medication Disposal, and Paper Shredding on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Electronic recycling is crucial for reducing environmental pollution and conserving valuable natural resources by properly disposing of and repurposing electronic waste. It helps prevent hazardous materials from harming ecosystems and human health while promoting sustainable use of technology.
Suitable electronic items include laptops, cell phones, outdated TVs and more. You can explore a list of Eligible Recycling Items in advance.
Technological advances and the resulting increase in electronic equipment pose a unique situation in terms of waste disposal. While electronic waste, also known as e-waste, only represents a small portion of the waste stream (about 1%), the potential impact on the environment is high.
Township Public Works Manager Adam Roose adds, “We look forward to this event every year and know Township residents enjoy this opportunity to safely dispose of electronics. It really can make a huge difference.”
On the day of the event, there will be two entrances to the event: south onto Andover Road from Long Lake Road or west onto Andover Road from southbound Telegraph. Stay in your vehicle. Volunteers will unload everything from your vehicle.
This event is open to Township residents only, and proof of residency is required. Please have your ID ready.
If you cannot participate on May 2, there is also a list of businesses that provide these disposal services Year Round.
