At RCAAN Luncheon on July 20, 2017 Christine Chessler from Recycle Ann Arbor, told us about the recycle program in Ann Arbor.
Christine told us that Recycle Ann Arbor run's the:
- Reuse Center: Recycle Ann Arbor’s ReUse Center offers more than 20,000 square feet of store space, selling a huge variety of household and building materials at affordable prices. The ReUse Center also offers Urbanwood for sale.
- Drop off Center: Serving residents and businesses located in Washtenaw County and beyond, the Drop-Off Station has an extensive range of services. Operated by Recycle Ann Arbor, a 501(c)3 non-profit, the Drop-Off Station receives no funding from local government and relies on fees paid by site users to maintain the services provided.
- Recovery Yard (Formerly Calvert's): Recycle Ann Arbor's Recovery Yard is Michigan's only non-profit construction and demolition recycler, providing prompt and reliable service to southeast Michigan. The professional and experienced staff will work with you to meet any C&D recycling needs, whether the project is large or small. Whether you are clearing out a basement, remodeling, moving, or your project involves demolition, concrete work, or new home construction, they will make sure your debris is handled in an environmentally-responsible manner. Our goal is to recycle the maximum amount of material from each construction site.
Curbside Recycling: Recycle Ann Arbor is contracted by the City of Ann Arbor to collect recyclables weekly at the curb from City of Ann Arbor residents, in a single-stream collection system. Single-stream recycling allows all recyclables to be placed into one recycling bin without separating papers from containers. Single-stream recycling is easy and convenient, which encourages residents to recycle the most materials possible.

Also at our Luncheon Scott Nelson finished up his awards by giving Gail Scott a Hero of the Year Award for her service of taking on the treasurer position this year after no other member stepped up to fill the position. Also she had a meeting at the beginning of the year to guide him through the year, so the year would be great, like it was.
