About This Location

The Resource Recovery Service Center – Georgetown, run by Ottawa County's Environmental Sustainability program at 6693 Roger Drive in Jenison, is a staffed public drop-off serving county residents. It's open Tuesday and Thursday mornings plus the first Saturday of each month. Everyday recyclables — plastics, glass, steel/tin/aluminum cans, paper, and cardboard — require a paid Ottawa County residential recycling membership, sold in 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month tiers. Household hazardous waste and consumer electronics are accepted free of charge from any Ottawa County resident, with no membership and no appointment. The center also takes scrap tires for a small per-tire fee and participates in the county's separate residential food-composting program. Materials must be empty, clean, and loose — bagged recyclables, plastic bags, textiles, Styrofoam, and items larger than a 5-gallon bucket are not accepted in the recycling stream.
