Fabulous location to recycle hard styrofoam, boxes, old technology and just about anything you can think of. Call if you have a question about what you want to recycle and it’s best $3.00 Donation there is! Amazing recycling drop-off center! ♥️♥️♥️

The facility is well run and organized. The staff has always been friendly and professional. It is very expensive however. I have repeatedly paid between $35 and $50 for less than a pickup bed.

I’ve shown up a solid 10-15 minutes before their posted closing time only to find the gate closed already. Super unreliable.

Do you take coffee grinders?

P Haworth | Nov 4, 2019

If you mean a working coffee grinder the Reuse Center on S Industrial will take it. Otherwise it would be handled as trash unless it is made of metal. Most small appliances are mostly plastic which can't be recycled

Do you accept invisible fence wiring?

Cheri Bissett | Sep 4, 2022
Burke Harris-Dawson | Sep 4, 2022

As E-waste they do, I believe. It will be a little more expensive than recycling other items there like yard waste or general debris, but at least it is dealing with it responsibly

Frode Maaseidvaag | Aug 5, 2022

How much is it to recycle queen size mattress and box spring

Susanne Mitchell | Nov 3, 2021
Recycle Drop-Off Station | Nov 3, 2021

The cost for mattress/box spring disposal (they are not recycled) is $20/each. So, for both the queen mattress and the queen box spring, it would cost $40. If the mattress and box spring is still usable, you might want to call around the thrift store network and see if anyone is accepting them: https://www.recycleannarbor.org/divisions/reuse-network.

Tom McCartney | Nov 4, 2017
Alon Yaffe | Nov 4, 2018

If these are working music CDs, the Reuse Center on S. Industrial is probably the better option. If these are to be recycled, the Drop Off Station will take them, but I suggest you call to inquire about the quantity.
