Eaton County Resource Recovery

Eaton County Resource Recovery The Resource Recovery Department is dedicated to reducing, reusing, and recycling in Eaton County. ECDRR is a resource to Eaton County residents.

The Eaton County Department of Resource Recovery (ECDRR) is the designated implementing agency responsible for the development and administration of the County Waste Management Plan under Public Act 641. In 1993, a Solid Waste Ordinance was enacted in Eaton County with the purpose of protecting and promoting public health, safety and welfare of residents. Through the Solid Waste Ordinance, solid

waste collection, transportation, delivery and disposal can be regulated, residents and businesses are provided incentives to recycle in order to reduce the volume of solid waste disposed, and the environment is preserved and improved. Tips on recycling, reuse and waste reduction are readily available during office hours, Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm at (517) 543-3686. Special collection events are organized each year to accommodate the proper disposal of wastes such as Household Hazardous Waste, Electronics, Medications, and Scrap Tires. Visit this link for details: https://www.eatoncounty.org/913/Recycling-Events. ECDRR provides information from local recycling centers but each center operates under the municipality in which it resides. For answers to questions on recycling in your neighborhood, call your local city or village hall.

Got Recycling?

We will take it! Eaton County Department of Resource Recovery's Recycling Programs are free, open to all Eaton County, Michigan residents, and effective! Drive up to the recycling trailer, and staff will help you unload your car and separate your materials.

Questions about recycling? Our staff can help with that, too!

Eaton County residents are on pace to recycle well over 200,000 pounds of plastic, metal, glass, paper and cardboard through the county recycling programs.

All recycled materials are processed and baled at the department operated Sunfield Recycling Center, where the materials are sold directly to manufacturers, guaranteeing your recycled materials don't end up in the landfill!

Incredible program, right here in Charlotte!

Forest gardens aim to mimic the structure and function of natural forests, which don't require irrigation, fertilization, and pesticides to grow and thrive, while providing food and other useful products to communities.

Forest gardens, such as the Eaton Conservation District's, also aim to provide conservation value by emphasizing native plants for the area's wildlife!

Monday, August 17th 8am - 11am
Join us for upcoming Work Days at the Charlotte Forest garden

We need your help to keep the Charlotte Forest garden healthy and thriving. Volunteers can assist with seasonal maintenance tasks such as weeding, watering, mulching, and installation of drip irrigation.

Other upcoming dates are:
August 31st
