While Kent County’s Recycling Center sorts and processes recycling from some of the surrounding counties, we rely on waste leaders from those counties to know which waste haulers provide curbside services, where recycling drop-offs are located, and what can be recycled where you live.

If you’re from outside of Kent County, please support your local recycling program to keep it as cost effective, efficient, low in emissions as possible and the demand for recycling in your community high! 

Recycling right at your curbside is the most efficient way to recycle — plus it’s lower in emissions and supports more jobs! Help support your local recycling program by signing up today!

If you are an apartment/condo tenant or not the property owner but would like recycling services please use our recycling drop-off stations or click here for info on our limited-time Apartment/Condo Recycling Grant.

Below are the waste haulers that provide curbside recycling services and bring their loads of recycling to Kent County Recycling & Education Center to be sorted and processed.

Kent County currently offers two drop-off recycling stations that are free to residents that live, work, or play in Kent County (no businesses, farms, or schools):

• North Kent Waste & Recycling Center in Rockford
  • Single-stream recycling drop-off
  • And more!
• South Kent Waste & Recycling Center in Byron Center
  • Cardboard only recycling drop-off
  • And more!

The recycling at these drop-off stations is delivered to Kent County Recycling & Education Center for sorting and processing.

Please double-check with your curbside recycling hauler to verify where they deliver recyclables to; if it’s us you can put all of the items below in your recycling bin.
