Who can use it
ERG's official drop-off page lists this Livonia site and a Bowling Green, Ohio, site as the only two ERG locations that accept household hazardous waste. Pricing depends on the community. City of Livonia residents dropping off here will be asked to verify Livonia residency. Industrial or commercially generated waste is not accepted. This is a different facility from the City of Livonia Drop-Off Recycling Center on Glendale Avenue.
Hours
- Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., from the official City of Livonia Household Hazardous Waste page.
- The official ERG directions say to turn at Industrial Road into the parking lot, not to use the north driveway, ring the doorbell, and return to your vehicle. Trained staff unload and weigh the load.
