Commercial & Industrial Recycling Solutions Across Michigan

Mid America Paper Recycling provides industrial and commercial recycling services to businesses throughout Michigan, helping companies improve waste management while recovering greater value from recyclable materials. Since 1926, our fourth-generation family-owned company has worked with manufacturers, automotive suppliers, printers, food processors, and distribution centers to develop recycling programs that improve efficiency and support long-term sustainability.


Michigan's manufacturing economy generates significant volumes of cardboard and paper, making an organized recycling strategy more important than ever. Our team helps customers optimize material handling, reduce waste costs, and improve the marketability of recovered fiber through customized recycling solutions.


Why Michigan Businesses Choose Mid America Paper Recycling

Experience matters in today's recycling marketplace. Mid America Paper Recycling combines nearly a century of recovered fiber expertise with extensive relationships throughout the paper industry. Our understanding of freight optimization, mill-direct shipping opportunities, and changing buyer demand allows us to help customers maximize both operational efficiency and recycling revenue.


Rather than offering standardized programs, we tailor each recycling solution to your facility's production schedule, material volumes, and long-term business objectives.
