Curbside
Collections 734-662-6288
Recycle Ann Arbor pioneered curbside recycling in the
Ann Arbor community in 1977 in a grassroots effort to make better use of our resources
and to reduce waste. In 1991, RAA turned the program over to the City of Ann Arbor
in order to expand service to all residents. Since then, RAA has been the sole
provider of Ann Arbor’s award-winning recycling program. Today, RAA collects recyclables
at the curb weekly from Ann Arbor residents in a two-bin system. Visit our Web site
for a complete list of the items we can accept and how you can get involved. For more information, please call (734) 662-6288, or e-mail info@recycleannarbor.org.
