Description:
The DJ Root Recycling Center has been recycling in our community since 2010. It was formally the Shiawassee County Community Mental Health Recycling Center. The Recycling Center was dedicated to the late DJ Root on April 26, 2013, who helped develop the Recycling Center from the beginning.
The DJ Root Recycling Center's main focus is helping individuals with disabilities gain the skills they need to help themselves gain employment within our community. So while you are recycling and helping to reduce items in the landfills, you are also helping people develop and gain new job skills.
We are strictly a paper recycling facility, meaning we accept all paper products:
Hard cover and paperback books, office paper, newspaper, magazines, paper bags, shredded paper, cardboard, phone books etc.
We are unable to accept: plastics, Styrofoam, glass, metals, and electronics.
The DJ Root Recycling Center also offers a Paper Shredding Service that is free of charge. If you have old tax records, bank statements, credit card statements or any other confidential material, bring them to our facility to be shredded. Everything you bring that is confidential is kept in a locked bin, in a locked room and that bin is not unlocked until it is time for it to be shredded. Everything you bring will be shredded within 30 days and a letter can be sent to your home or business letting you know that the papers have been destroyed.
Everything you drop off at our center is free, there is no charge for any of the services we offer.
Although our services are free of charge, in order to have the products we need and to create more jobs, we need support from our community. We know this service has value to you. Please consider a tax-deductible donation in an amount you feel reflects that value after using our service. Your generosity will help make a difference in our community, and on the lives of the people we serve.
