Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drop off recyclables at the Materials Recovery Facility on Platt Rd?
No. The MRF at 4150 Platt Rd is an industrial processing plant for curbside loads — it does not accept public walk-in drop-offs. For public recycling, use the <a href="/mi/ann-arbor/recycle-ann-arbor-recovery-yard-mi-ann-arbor/">Recovery Yard at 7891 Jackson Rd</a> (Mon–Fri 7:30 AM–3:15 PM) or the Drop-Off Station at 2950 E. Ellsworth Rd.
What makes the Ann Arbor MRF a "zero-waste" facility?
The Recycle Ann Arbor MRF uses advanced sorting technology to process nearly all incoming material — including mixed plastics, glass, and organics — targeting landfill diversion rates that conventional single-stream MRFs cannot achieve. It is one of only four such facilities in the U.S.
Who operates the curbside recycling program in Ann Arbor?
Recycle Ann Arbor operates the curbside collection and processing program for the City of Ann Arbor under a municipal contract. The collected material is sorted at this MRF on Platt Rd. Contact: 734-662-6288 or recycleannarbor.org.
