2025 Recycling Impact Report

in 2025 recycle ann arbor's zero waste MRF diverted 22,556 tons of materials from the landfill

We track the materials collected, sorted, and processed at our zero waste Material Recovery Facility (MRF). In 2025, our community kept 22,556 tons of material out of the landfill! A record for us. All these materials moved through our zero-waste MRF after you sorted them at home and put them in your curbside cart, brought them to the Drop-Off Station, or filled a Recovery Yard Roll-Off. Every cart, every person, every day made a difference.

We used the EPA's WARM model to calculate the carbon emissions conserved. Our 2025 Impact Report breaks down what that means, and we think it’s worth a look.
