Western Washtenaw Recycling Authority

Western Washtenaw Recycling Authority (WWRA) is a collaborative effort among five municipalities dedicated to exploring innovative waste management solutions and advocating for recycling practices. Operating independently from the City of Chelsea, WWRA is sustained through two distinct assessments featured on the Winter Tax bill. One levy finances equipment procurement while the other supports daily operations.

WWRA extends a range of recycling services to Chelsea inhabitants, including weekly curbside collection and strategically located drop-off containers throughout the service area. Noteworthy, plastic bags are not accepted for recycling purposes, underscoring the need for community compliance in waste disposal. For a comprehensive outline of recyclables, residents can refer to the available list on WWRA's website.

Beyond traditional recycling initiatives, WWRA accommodates used motor oil retrieval encompassing various oil types except for certain exclusions like cooking oil and fuel oil. The facility, situated at 8025 Werkner Road in conjunction with the City of Chelsea Solid Waste Department, operates independently from the transfer station/dump, each with distinct operational parameters. Maps and bin site details are accessible on the Location page for reference.
