Ann Arbor Curbside Recycling Guide www.recycleannarbor.org 2420 S. Industrial Highway Ann Arbor, MI 48104 Monday-Friday, 8:30- 4:30 All Together Now: Ann Arbor Curbside Recycling Guide Recycle Ann Arbor pioneered curbside recycling in Ann Arbor in 1977, in a grassroots effort to make better use of our resources and to reduce waste. Today, 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. Recyclables are collected in 64-gallon wheeled carts. Recycling carts are also available in 32-gallon and 96-gallon sizes. (See next page for a description of cart sizes and capacities.) The City of Ann Arbor’s single-stream recycling system allows a wide variety of materials to be collected and recycled. Acceptable materials include plastic bottles and tubs labeled , , , , , or ; bulky plastics; glass; metal; and paper, boxboard and cardboard. Everything must fit inside the cart with the lid closed.
