South Kent Landfill
We are aware that Google lists our South Kent Waste & Recycling Center facility as “temporarily closed” however this is not true. We are open for regular service hours at that facility and are working hard to make these corrections with Google. We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation!
Wealthy St. Recycling Drop-Off Station
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 will last through Fall 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.
