Recycle Here

Recycle Here! was formed in 2005 to address the need for recycling options in the City of Detroit. What began as a grassroots, neighborhood, recycling event has evolved into a city-wide, fully-funded, neighborhood recycling program.

SCHOOL RECYCLING EDUCATION PROGRAM 

Recycle Here! is working with the Detroit Public Schools recycling paper, plastic, metal, light-bulbs, Styrofoam and batteries, which is integrated into the science class curriculum. Recycle Here! works with each school’s science teacher to identify on-site locations that will be used by the students to separate and store collected recyclables until the scheduled monthly pickup. Each participating science class is encouraged to create a “Green Team” which will collect and weigh their recyclables. Recycle Here! will supply schools with bins, assembly kickoff, poster, labels and facility tour to each participating school.

GREATER DETROIT RESOURCE RECOVERY AUTHORITY

This includes the acquisition, construction, improvement, enlargement, extension and operation of solid waste disposal facilities. 
The Authority’s activities encompass one or more parts of a total waste management system (post collection) including transportation, recoverable materials marketing (recycling), generation and sale of waste derived fuel energy products (steam and electricity), and disposal. The Authority is a governmental unit, separate from the City of Detroit.
