About this center
The Drop-Off Station on East Ellsworth Road is the public drop-off division of Recycle Ann Arbor, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that has run recycling for the Ann Arbor area for more than 45 years. Every visit starts at a gatehouse where an attendant assesses the load, collects fees, and routes drivers through a mostly one-way flow: household recyclables go in the indoor Barn, while landfill waste, yard waste, metal, and tires go to the outdoor Hill.
Traditional recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans, and plastics 1, 2, and 5 carry no recycling fee beyond the daily gate fee. Motor oil, antifreeze, vegetable oil, foam, and plastic bags are taken as hard-to-recycle items, and electronics, appliances, tires, bulbs, and secure document and hard drive shredding cost extra. The station accepts credit cards only and opens Tuesday through Saturday.

These are the nicest most friendly folks ever. They have a genuinely happy spirit to serve and it shines through in the way they interact with people demonstrate helpfulness go out of their way to make your day just a bit better! I love coming here even from across the other side of the state!! They take styrofoam cartons things other places don’t often take- so I collect it for awhile then bring it over. These folks are great!!!

Be sure to have the person at the gate doublecheck what they’re charging you for. Especially electronics. If you go in to that barn with something that isn’t approved the dude in there is going to make you feel like a terrible person. The guy is a real piece of work

After a woman ran into the side of the building they stopped taking the plastics and styrofoam that curbside won’t take. When will this be fixed?
