City of Lansing, MI Announces Opening of New Recycling Drop-Off Center

This project was made possible through funding from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) as part of a recycling infrastructure grant awarded to the city.

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The City of Lansing Public Service Department announces the opening of a brand-new Recycling Drop-Off Center, located at 601 E South Street, Lansing, MI 48910. All community members can now conveniently drop off recyclable materials free of charge at this new facility.

Mayor Andy Schor celebrated the new development, stating “The opening of this recycling drop-off center is another step in the right direction to make Lansing a more sustainable community. Residents who were unable to get curbside recycling services now have a greater opportunity to recycle. I am very excited to keep expanding our sustainability efforts in the future.”

This project was made possible through funding from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) as part of a recycling infrastructure grant awarded to the city. Lansing has been a long-standing advocate for recycling, launching its curbside program nearly 35 years ago. Lansing remains committed to responsible waste management and continues to invest in programs that divert as much material from local landfills as possible through expanded access and community education.

EGLE Public Information Officer Jeff Johnston noted, “Lansing’s commitment to recycling is contributing to Michigan’s cleaner, more resilient future. By increasing our recycling rate, we not only conserve natural resources but also generate significant economic benefits—supporting over 72,500 jobs and injecting billions of dollars into our economy. Every bottle, box, and can recycled brings us one step closer to a sustainable Michigan where both the environment and our communities thrive.”
