Recycling Events

Remember those old electronics you were going to donate and those tires attracting mosquitoes in your backyard? It’s time to say goodbye to them and we’re here to help!

We’re hosting the E-Waste and Tire Recycling Event on Friday, Aug. 20, 2021 and Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021 at our Bay City Recycles Drop-Off Center, 2900 N. Water Street. Stop by between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Saturday.

The event is open to Bay County residents however we ask that tire recycling is limited to City of Bay City residents. There’s a limit of 10 passenger vehicle tires per household and make sure they’re off the rim!
