Learn “The Basics”
The rules of recycling are simple!
Following them improves
the entire
recycling process and helps your
recyclables become something new.
Learn Local Rules
While “The Basics” cover rules that are generally accepted across Michigan, the companies that pick up recyclables
may have different policies for “niche” items.
Be certain
which materials your company
or city accepts before putting something
in your curbside recycling by reviewing
your
waste hauler’s or municipality’s rules.
