Recycle Ann Arbor's staffed Recycling Drop-Off Station accepts all
the items collected for curbside recycling (see opposite page and below). At
this time, the Drop-Off Station accepts only sorted, clean recyclables.
For example, the rinsed containers should not be mixed, but kept
separate into the following categories: clear glass; green glass; brown glass;
flattened tin cans; aluminum foil and food trays; plastic milk jugs (tops
removed and discarded); plastic #2 laundry jugs (with tops removed and
discarded).

Paper products are also kept separate: newspapers (bundled or
stacked into brown paper bags); and bundled brown corrugated cardboard.
The Station accepts used car batteries, used household batteries and
used motor oil (place oil in a see-through plastic milk jug with a screw top).
In addition, the Drop-Off Station accepts office paper sorted into:
white bond; computer printout; and colored bond; and some scrap metal.
For more information, call Recycle Ann Arbor at 971-7400.
In September, 1991, the Recycling Station added a new education
area and program series. The Recycling and Education Station is an
interactive learning center addressing solid waste problems and local
solutions. Geared for youth, the Recycling and Education Station offers a
series of eight hands-on outdoor panels, a " recycle route" and " glorious
garbage games." Recycling and Education Station group tours and activities
are scheduled through Claire Pferdner at the Ecology Center, 761-3186.
