NOTICE OF POSSIBLE CLOSINGS THIS WEEK DUE TO HEAT
Attention: Due to the Excessive Heat Watch issued by the National Weather Service for our region through Friday, June 21, 2024, there is a possibility that CARA (Charlotte Area Recycling Authority) may need to close, likely without much notice. As Michigan weather tends to change rapidly, we want to prioritize the safety of our staff, volunteers, and recyclers. Unfortunately, CARA does not have a designated cool-down location. Please stay informed and take necessary precautions during this heatwave.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
