MRFs

Rather than having recyclables trucked off, the City Council voted to negotiate an agreement with Recycle Ann Arbor to rebuild and operate the shuttered MRF.

The MRF was idled in 2015 after the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency began a contract that shipped recyclables 65 miles away.

Opposing groups, however, insist the city should fix and reopen its existing MRF rather than haul recyclables more than 60 miles away.
