Hello There!
I'm Todd Whalen
Owner of SplitzEaze.
I saw a growing need - people don't have the time or desire to return their bottles and cans, but they also don't want to throw them away. That's why I created SplitzEaze, a hassle-free pickup service that helps customers recycle, get paid, and keep Michigan cleaner.
SplitzEaze is a family-owned business, founded by me, Todd Whalen - a dedicated entrepreneur and community leader in Ann Arbor, Michigan. With over 15 years of experience in business, I have built a reputation for providing top-quality services that makes life easier for busy professionals and families.
We believe in giving back to the community. Through SplitzEaze, customers can choose to Donate to Their Favorite Charity instead of keeping their share of the refund. Simply indicate the charity name from the Charity Options Page, and we will personally ensure the funds go to the right place.
At SplitzEaze, we make recycling easy, rewarding, and meaningful.
We do all the work - you just bag 'em up.
You get paid instantly - no waiting, no counting
Eco-friendly & easy - recycling made simple.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does SplitzEaze work?
It's simple! Bag up your empty cans and bottles, attach a note with your name and count, and schedule a pickup online. We come to you, load everything up, and write you a check on the spot for your share of the refund. We put your check in an envelope in a plastic door hanger sleeve and hang it on your doorknob, so you don't even need to be home when we come. No lines, no hassle - just easy cash for your recyclables!
What types of cans and bottles do you accept?
We accept all Michigan deposit-eligible bottles and cans - that means aluminum, plastic, and glass beverage containers with a 10-cent refund. If it has a MI deposit label, we take it!
How do I schedule a pickup?
Just Use Our Scheduling Calendar to choose the day you want us to pick up, and we'll send you a confirmation email that you're on the schedule. It's quick, easy, and hassle-free.
How do I prepare my cans and bottles for pickup?
Place your bottles and cans in plastic garbage bags, tie them securely at the top, and attach a note with your name and total count (unless you've instructed us to count for you). That's it! We'll take care of the rest.
How and when do I get paid?
We write you a check on the spot (and put it in an envelope and hang it on your doorknob in a plastic doorhanger sleeve) when we pick up your cans and bottles. No waiting, no guessing - you'll know exactly how much you're getting right away!
Do I need to count my cans and bottles?
Only if you want to. We work on an honor system. So if you count them, write the total on a slip of paper. If you want us to count them, indicate that on the 'Who Counts' field when you complete the pickup form. Either you trust us or we trust you. You'll try to be accurate when counting and/or so will we. We want to continue picking up your returnables for years to come, not just once, so integrity is at our core.
Is there a minimum or maximum number of cans and bottles I can recycle?
Yes! We require a minimum of 150 cans and/or bottles per pick-up if you want us to split the deposit. That's $7.50 each, minimum.
If you do not want to split any refund of the returnables and you simply wish for us to pick them up for you to clear them out of your house and not pay you for them at all, we can pick up a minimum of 75 cans or bottles.
If you have more than 500, just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Where do you offer pickup service?
We currently service Ann Arbor, Michigan, and surrounding areas of about a 20-mile radius. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just reach out! If we have interest in locations further out than our current pick-up area, it helps us to know that we can expand our service area, and that's not a bad thing :-)
