RECYCLING TEMPORARILY CLOSED - TRASH SERVICE STILL AVAILABLE

Pursuant to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order 2020-21, the Charlotte Area Recycling Authority (CARA) center will be CLOSED FOR RECYCLING until May 15

For those that depend on CARA for trash disposal services, the center will be open during limited hours for TRASH DISPOSAL ONLY ($4.00 per bag). 

These hours are as follows:

*Tuesdays 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

*Thursdays 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

*Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon

Please continue to store your recyclable materials as CARA will reopen and resume with full services following the mandated closure. 

*Remember: Dumping at CARA at any time is ILLEGAL and subject to a $500 fine.

Please stay home and stay safe.

OPEN

We have had a lot of inquiries and as of right now, our current plan is to remain open. We do ask that you please refrain from coming in if ill. Please keep a 6ft #socialdistance as much as possible and please keep the flow moving (come pre-sorted) so we are able to keep the amount of people to less than 10 people at any given time. Thank you so much for understanding and helping us keep everyone safe!
