Alpena Resource Recovery Facility

Alpena Resource Recovery Facility (ARRF) is a one-stop recycling facility. Residents in Alpena County pay $20.00 a year on their taxes to operate ARRF. Residents from out of county must get a permit to use our recycling bins, either by stopping by ARRF 4395 M32 West Alpena, Mi., or sending a check for $50.00 to NEMCOG PO Box 457, Gaylord, Mi. 49734, and a permit will be mailed out. Permits are good for one year from the date of purchase. Businesses are required to get a Business permit to recycle. Costs are $300.00 a year and the Businesses are required to bring their recyclables to Recycling Facility at 4395 M32 West, Alpena. These permits are good for one year from the date of purchase. On the web go to Alpena Recycling.org/Discover Northeast Michigan. On our home page you will find "What do I do with", click on an item you wish to recycle or dispose of. Even better fill out the information on the left and our Recycling Genie will do all the work for you. The Genie will direct you to either dispose of, direct you to the nearest recycling bin, or bring the item to ARRF for recycling. We have 9 sites in Alpena County where residents can drop off recyclables. These sites are listed below and on our home page on the Web. Contamination is a very big problem. On each of the 9 recycling bins is a list of items to recycle, and not to recycle. We ask that you pay close attention to the no's to recycling. We have an annual Countywide Cleanup day usually on the 1st Saturday of May and an electronics collection on the 1st Saturday of June. Some fees may apply. Check our website for details. Any questions or comments can be directed to me Stan Mischley at the email and phone number above. Please be aware that only paper, cardboard, plastic, and tin cans are allowed in our recycling bins. All other materials must be brought to the recycling facility on M32. During the months of May through October, we collect tires, Household hazardous waste, and paint. Please check our website for dates and prices. We also take household garbage and construction materials year around. Fee applies. We also take sharps/needles year-round, and fees apply.
