CARA will be closed this morning, February 3rd, 2015, due to the National Weather Service's windchill advisory. It is our hope to open this afternoon, if the weather warms up. *Reminder, CARA will close when the weather causes unsafe working conditions, this usually happens when temps are in the negatives, including the windchill. So sorry for any inconvenience and thank you all for understanding!
The Charlotte Area Recycling Authority (CARA) is a local drop-off recycling center for residents in and surrounding the Charlotte, Michigan area, located at 201 Hall Street. The Center is funded through donations, sale of recyclable materials and grants from Eaton County Resource Recovery. While recycling is a free service, donations are always welcomed and greatly appreciated.
