Overview:
Although Recycle Ann Arbor (RAA) is best known for curbside recycling in the City of Ann Arbor all residents of Washtenaw County can benefit from the services offered in their three other divisions. RAA has rolled out many new programs this year including mattress recycling, hard drive shredding, secure document shredding, vinyl siding recycling, and textile recycling and collection for reuse.
There are three full-service recycling stations:
- The Drop-Off Station
- the ReUse Center
- Jackson Rd. location (formerly named Calvert’s), and (they recycle a vast array of household and construction materials).
