Recycling in Jackson: A Local Guide
Jackson is the seat of Jackson County in south-central Michigan, and its residents can choose between two complementary recycling facilities — a weekday commercial drop-off yard and a nonprofit community drop-off open once a month.
Emmons Service Inc has served Jackson since 1918 and operates a public recycling drop-off at 913 Water Street, open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The yard accepts a broad single-stream load: newspaper, magazines, office paper, corrugated cardboard, tin/steel/aluminum cans, plastic bottles and jugs #1–7, glass bottles and jars (drop-off yard only), and rigid styrofoam blocks. Yard waste (grass and leaves only) is also accepted for a $2.00-per-bag fee, maximum 10 bags per day. Shredded paper, pizza boxes, plastic bags, aerosol cans, and e-waste are not accepted here; e-waste is redirected to Recycling Jackson.
Recycling Jackson is a Jackson County nonprofit that has run community recycling since 1983. Its drop-off at 1401 N Brown Street is open on the first Saturday of every month, 9 AM to 1 PM. It accepts all forms of paper, all types of metal, plastics #1–7, glass, and a wide range of electronics — computers, laptops, printers, scanners, stereos, VCRs, DVD players — partnering with a certified recycler to ensure material is not burned overseas. Tube TVs and monitors carry fees ($5–$25 by size); projection televisions are not accepted. Donations receive a tax-deductible receipt.
