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 and the sale of recyclable materials. While recycling is a free service, donations are always welcomed and greatly appreciated.
HELP! We are looking for some volunteers to assist with a spring cleaning of the grounds at CARA - this would be an excellent opportunity for an organization or a service club! If interested please message us here or email us at: cara@charlottemi.org or call us at: 517-213-1266. Thank you!
We were just informed that we are experiencing technical difficulties with our phone again. Please bear with us as we try to get it resolved. In the mean time, please email us at cara@charlottemi.org or send us a Facebook message. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
