Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To develop and operate innovative reuse, recycling, and zero-waste programs that improve the environmental quality of our community

  • MRF Materials Recovery Facility - Recycle Ann Arbor RAA provides contract services to the City of Ann Arbor and other communities and haulers at the Materials Recovery Facility. RAA accepts all the recycling material collected by the City of Ann Arbor and processes materials on site to be sold as raw materials for new products. The Recycle Ann Arbor MRF incorporates optics, AI technology and robotics to optimize mechanical recycling of materials. In 2022, RAA exceeded overall tonnage projections by over 15. Not a single load of sorted recyclables was rejected. We were able to move all material in a timely manner, through both high and low market conditions. Less than 12 of all material that was shipped from MRF was disposed of. This compares to a national average residual rate of about 25-35.

    Expenses $3,982,097 · Grants $2,000

  • Drop-Off Station DOS, Recovery Yard, and Trucking Services - DOS To provide a convenient and accessible location to the community for the recycling of both curbside and hard-to-recycle items, as an environmentally preferable alternative to landfilling or illegal dumping.

Recovery Yard To provide recycling of construction and demolition materials from businesses, as an environmentally preferable alternative to landfilling.

    Expenses $2,239,810 · Grants $2,000 · Revenue $5,755,444

  • Curbside Collections - To provide weekly curbside recycling collection services to the single-family, multi-family, and some small commercial units within the City of Ann Arbor and deliver those materials for ultimate production into new materials, as an environmentally preferable alternative to landfilling. In 2022, the Collections team continued a very comprehensive data collection effort for all services provided for the City of Ann Arbor in preparation for contract negotiations, possible rerouting and to improve customer service experience for those participating in the City recycling collection program. The Collections team also rolled out several departmental policies and procedures including new daily procedures and pre- and post- trip vehicle inspections training to ensure the safety and longevity of RAAs truck fleet.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
