The Home Recycle of 906

What The Home Recycle of 906 does

The Home Recycle of 906 is the consumer-facing brand of the Marquette County Solid Waste Management Authority (MCSWMA), a public intergovernmental authority established in 1988 and owned by all 22 constituent municipalities of Marquette County, Michigan. The Authority operates the Marquette County Landfill (opened late December 1989 with a projected 50+ year capacity) and a portfolio of complementary services including the Recycle 906 drop-off recycling program, household hazardous waste collection, mercury-containing equipment disposal, refrigerant removal ($40 per unit), scrap tire disposal, asbestos disposal, medical and trauma scene waste handling, and hydrocarbon-contaminated soil disposal. The facility accepts waste Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and is fed by a network of approximately 12 transfer stations distributed across the county, including sites operated by Waste Management and several townships.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through transaction-based fees. The primary stream is the tipping fee on waste deposited at the landfill, set to increase to $98 per ton effective July 1, 2026. Secondary streams include per-unit refrigerant removal charges, scrap tire disposal fees, and special waste handling fees (asbestos, medical waste, contaminated soil). Customers must obtain landfill permits from their originating municipality before delivery, embedding the Authority as a regulated monopoly within Marquette County's solid waste chain. In May 2025, the Authority's State Revolving Fund Project received national recognition from Michigan EGLE, signaling continued infrastructure investment. The Authority is governed by a Board of Trustees with representation from the City of Marquette, Sands Township, Marquette County, and the Authority itself, and is staffed by a small operational team of 1–10 employees including a Director of Operations, Finance Director, Materials Management Supervisor, and Executive Assistant.

Product overview

Rather than a unified software product, the organization provides physical environmental services and infrastructure to Marquette County residents and licensed haulers.
