YOU can help participate in A Green Solution!!.  The cost to recycle through MSI is very inexpensive.  It probably will cost you less than paying transit and tipping fees at the landfills.  MSI will schedule a truck to pickup your old furniture.  All we require is that you palletize the component parts and assist with the loading.   You may also use your own trucks for transport if they are available.  Most recyclers want to buy only separated metals or plastics.  They don't want assembled furniture.  "Protect your environment, recycle your furnishings through MSI Today!!" Please Note: Service only available to 501(c)3 Non-Profits, State Agencies, and Educational Institutions at this time.
A valid purchase order must be provided BEFORE order processing.  Contact MSI Order Entry at (517) 373-3880.

Protecting The Environment

MSI recycling factories operate in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local EPA regulations.  MSI is committed to operational procedures that:

• Comply with all laws and regulations
• Demonstrate commitment to pollution prevention
• Are environmentally sound
• Conserve resources
• Are continually improved

Most office furniture system components can be reused!!  Don't send valuable furniture to the landfills.  Help to extend the life of metals, plastics, textiles, and other fine materials.  The reclamation program benefits not only the environment but also taxpayers.  MSI receives no tax dollars to operate this program.  All revenue earned goes into a revolving fund for future operations and programs.  The recycled materials will be sold to approved reprocessors who use the recycled material to produce new products. 
                 Recycle Facts:
An average panel system workstation can equal 1000 lbs of recycled contents diverted from the landfills per station!!
Recycling results in fewer products filling up limited landfill space.  Recycling also conserves labor and manufacturing energy.
