Our Story
Our Story
Midstates Recycling Services was founded over 40 years ago with a simple mission: make commercial recycling easy, reliable, and valuable for businesses across Michigan. What started as a small paper recycling operation has grown into a full-service recycling company serving hundreds of businesses — from small offices to large industrial facilities.
Over four decades, we've built direct relationships with paper mills, commodity buyers, and recycling facilities across the region. That network is what allows us to offer our customers top-dollar returns on their recyclable materials and a level of service that larger national companies simply can't match.
What Drives Us
Our Mission
"To make commercial recycling simple, profitable, and sustainable for every business we serve — while building a cleaner Michigan for future generations."
Reliability
We show up on schedule, every time. Your recycling program runs smoothly because we make it our business to keep it that way.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprises. We provide clear reporting on volumes, values, and diversion rates so you always know what you're getting.
Partnership
We don't just pick up your recyclables — we work with you to build a program that fits your operation and grows with your business.
Sustainability
Every pound of material we divert from a landfill is a win for Michigan. We take that responsibility seriously.
Our Team
The People Behind the Program
Our team brings decades of hands-on experience in commercial recycling, logistics, and sustainability. When you work with Midstates, you get a dedicated account manager who knows your business — not a call center.
