Its roots date back to 1927 when Henry Rosen, like many newcomers to America, had a family to feed and knew it wasn’t going to happen by itself. Salvaging old newspaper and rags in Detroit was better than standing in a soup line. By working hard, providing dependable service to his customers and treating people right, he was able to eke out a living. Soon the business began to grow; so much so that, before long, he needed two of his sons to help him keep up.

Great Lakes Recycling adheres to the values that helped Henry Rosen get started. By listening to our customers, addressing their concerns and offering new services to meet their needs, we expanded frompaper collection to metal, plastic and electronics recycling. By staying up to date on and complying with government regulations, adhering to responsible safety and environmental practices and applying “The Golden Rule” in everything we do, our customers receive reliable service, competitive prices, timely payment and freedom from worry about liability.E-waste is an ever-growing, popular, yet informal name for a variety of electronic products that have met the end of their “useful life.” This includes, but is not limited to computers, televisions, monitors, laptops, cellphones, VCRs, stereos, stand-alone copiers, fax machines and so on.Of these billions of bags, less than 1 percent are recycled. The result is tons of non-biodegradable landfill waste that over time will contaminate the soil and water, proving costly to remove. That’s why GLR has a long history of being so dedicated to plastic recycling.
