Waste Management - Isabella County Materials Recovery Facility

Small county-scale transfer and sorting location used by Mount Pleasant residents and nearby rural folks. People bring household trash and recyclables here; the site looks like a working yard rather than a storefront. It’s the kind of place locals swing by with pickup loads or trailer drops.

Drive up E River Rd to a gated entrance with a booth where vehicles briefly stop before entering; a scale is usually in the drive path so expect to slow down twice. The pad and piles are industrial-looking - concrete pads, roll-off containers, and a mix of compactors and open bays. Recycling containers are generally grouped to one side of the main traffic flow, while larger disposal areas sit farther in. Busy times, especially weekends and spring cleanup, lead to lines and some waiting.
