As per proposal, the new drop-off station would be larger in size and will allow general public to recycle not only household recycling, but bulky items, scrap metal, furniture, yard waste, concrete, electronics and tires. The new location would offer enhanced recycling options and services to the larger Ann Arbor area residents.
According to city spokesperson Robert Keller, the final site design is still under preparation and has not been submitted for approval yet. The relocation has become necessary due to lack of opportunities for renovation and growth of services at the current site of the facility, he added.
