What We Do at Midwest Recycling

Founded in 2007, Midwest Recycling specializes in the placement and maintenance of thousands of bins throughout Greater Detroit and Southeast Michigan. We have partnerships with various groups, including local communities, businesses, public schools, and houses of worship. Midwest Recycling is a worldwide distributor of used clothing and shoes for women, children, and families in need.

At our 50,000-square-foot headquarters, located in Inkster, MI, our workers weigh, sort  and package products. Our warehouse has eight bays for incoming and outgoing products. Crews keep a steady pace of tracking how much comes in and where it’s coming from. 

In addition to recyclables that pass through our warehouse, the new collection bins come here for painting and the application of identifying stickers. Once they have been aesthetically constructed and designed, each bin is assigned to a host site. Midwest Recycling trucks carefully place the collection bins at their new homes, where they await visitors to bring recyclables.
