It is important to know that Community Disposal Service is not an actual recycler, we pick it up and haul it to reputable recycling centers. These licensed centers have large operating costs, and delivering clean and proper products is important to keep costs down, which in turn, help us provide our customers with low recycling service fees. We have partnered with the top licensed recycling centers in Oakland, Genesee, Livingston, Lapeer, Saginaw, and Shiawassee counties to provide the most flexible recycling services in your area. We strive to make recycling easy and intuitive so we can work together for the betterment of the environment.
