Recycle Ann Arbor extends drop-off station operating hours

Recycle Ann Arbor, a nonprofit zero-waste recycler in Michigan, has announced that its drop-off station will extend its hours by adding an extra day of operation each week starting April 3. 

The station will now be open every Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., increasing its operating days to four days a week. It will remain open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, as well. 

“In the early 2000’s, Recycle Ann Arbor had to reduce the drop-off station’s operating days from five to our current three days a week,” says Nate Oswald, Recycle Ann Arbor director of operations. “Thanks to the rising trends in recycling and sustainability, as well as our established and reliable local end markets here in Michigan, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to add a new day at the drop-off station.  

The drop-off station provides residents and businesses with recycling services for hard-to-recycle materials including electronics, appliances, textiles, plastic bags, freon appliances, lightbulbs, tires and expanded single-stream and metal recycling. 

“Our experienced team is dedicated to our zero-waste mission and works diligently to ensure these valuable materials are recycled to their highest and best use,” says Laura Jarels, Recycle Ann Arbor general manager. “We are excited to expand our services to our customers for an additional day. With our new Friday hours beginning at 7 AM, this is a great opportunity for early-morning contractors to drop off items or for residents to conveniently recycle before heading to work."
