Kent County Department of Public Works has announced the temporary closure of its Wealthy Street recycling drop-off station and electronics drop-off site. The closure began 5 p.m. Friday, March 26 and last through the fall of 2021.
The closure of the recycling drop-off station and electronics recycling drop-off located on the campus of the Recycling & Education Center (977 Wealthy St. SW Grand Rapids), is due to the construction of a new Kent County DPW administrative building and SafeChem Center on the Recycling & Education Center campus.
It will NOT impact the processing of residential recycling delivered to the Recycling & Education Center by commercial recycling haulers or recycling dropped off at the Rockford Recycling Station at the North Kent Recycling & Waste Center.
We continue to work to improve access to recycling for residents who do may not have access to curbside recycling services.
We have created a list of ways you can still participate in recycling while this location is closed.
