From our first step into the U.S. market to a trusted partner serving communities across Michigan, our story has been shaped by hard work, strong partnerships, and a commitment to finding a better way forward.

For the past 15 years, Emterra Environmental USA has proudly served communities across Michigan, helping residents, businesses, and municipalities manage waste responsibly and recover valuable resources through recycling. What began as a single operation has grown into a team of more than 215 employees supporting residents, businesses, and municipalities across 75 communities throughout the state.

Our Journey

Fifteen years ago, Emterra took a bold step into Michigan, expanding beyond Canada and bringing with it an entrepreneurial spirit rooted in innovation, resource recovery, and customer service.

The result is a business built not only on infrastructure and investment, but on perseverance, adaptability, and a commitment to doing the right thing.

Serving Michigan Communities

Every day, our teams help Michigan households, businesses, and municipalities manage waste responsibly and recover valuable resources.

Whether we're providing residential collection, supporting local businesses, or helping municipalities achieve their environmental goals, our focus remains the same: delivering reliable service and creating lasting value for the communities we serve.
