Greater Lansing’s Largest 1-day Recycling Event
The next Recycle Rama will be held on April 22, 2023. Each year, we reclaim and repurpose many tons of unwanted, often difficult to recycle, materials.
- Electronics, televisions, microwave ovens – anything with a cord! Note: there is a $20 fee to TVs and Monitors, no charge for laptops.
- Books and bikes in good condition are returned to use.
- Fabrics and yarns are provided to volunteer groups, who transform them into quilts and knitted materials that are donated within our community.
- Outdated or unneeded medications are accepted at a secure station staffed by pharmacists.
More Info. Note: We cannot accept batteries for recycling.
You make this event possible! Volunteer to help using our easy online signup: Volunteer
