Moving/Packaging Materials

Moving home can result in excessive waste being produced in the form of packaging materials and discarded items. To combat this Recycle Ann Arbor produced the Green Your Move Brochure.

Not only can the drop off station assist customers with the responsible recycling and reuse of unwanted items, we seek to reuse moving and packaging materials.

The Drop-Off Station offers a range of low-cost packaging materials to customers. Recycle Ann Arbor prioritize reuse above recycling as the best environmental option for many products, and as such tries to ensure items that can be reused are.

Packing materials available for pick up include:

• Moving Boxes
• Bubble Wrap
• Packing Peanuts

Supplies of these materials are often limited, please call for current availability and pricing.
