  • Community Services – Through the hosting agreement with the City of Hamtramck, the HRRC will provide discounted waste management services to the residents and local businesses that will include drop-off service for recyclables and hazardous wastes.  The HRRC will also provide resources and services to the City in the event of a natural disaster or local emergency.
  • Environmentally Sustainable – The HRRC provides the City and surrounding communities an economically viable, environmentally sustainable solution to managing the municipal waste they generate each day.
