About GLR America

Great Lakes Recycling didn’t happen overnight. Its roots date back to 1927 when Henry Rosen, like many newcomers to America, had a family to feed and knew it wasn’t going to happen by itself. Salvaging old newspaper and rags in Detroit was better than standing in a soup line. By working hard, providing dependable service to his customers and treating people right, he was able to eke out a living. In 1941 his son, Ben joined the business and at 93 he still comes in today.
