Events are held annually in May, June, and August. Specific dates for the 2020 year will be announced in January, 2020 and registration will open in February, 2020.
Volunteers
ECDRR is always looking for volunteers to help make these events happen! There are only two restrictions: volunteers must be at least 16 years old and must have a volunteer application form on file (can be filled out the day of the event).
Recycling Fever: June 20, 2020 9 am - 2 pm **EVENT POSTPONED**
Due to the constantly changing guidelines and executive orders issued by the Governor regarding large scale events and gatherings, Eaton County has decided to postpone the June 20, 2020 Recycling Fever event in Charlotte. This decision was not made lightly and is necessary to ensure the safety of volunteers, ECDRR staff, vendors, and participants. Current public health recommendations and guidelines allow for the August 22, 2020 Recycle-Palooza events to go on as planned.
If you have already registered for the Recycling Fever 2020 event, please be advised that your appointment has been cancelled. The new date for this event has not been determined at this time. Recycle-Palooza and the re-scheduled Recycling Fever event will both be held in Charlotte. PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to attend any of these events you will need to register. Registration for Recycle-Palooza is currently available below.
