The DJ Root Recycling Center offers services for paper shredding and recycling cardboard. If you have a business, we can pick up your materials by using a secure, locked recycling container.
For over a decade, the DJ Root Recycling Center has helped more than 300 businesses and families become green. With the generous support of Shiawassee County community members, we have been able to recycle over 1 million pounds, which is over 8,500 trees!
The DJ Root Recycling Center has more than 20 individuals with a disability and are paid at least minimum wage. A wide-range of jobs are offered, depending on skill level. Some jobs include picking up materials and loading it into a box truck, sorting and shredding materials, and baling/preparing material to be loaded and shipped.
The DJ Root Recycling Center is a Vocational Rehabilitation Program that prepares individuals for future employment in competitive community settings. Consumers learn about safety, teamwork, communication, time management as well as hand-and-eye coordination.
