In a bid to promote environmentally friendly practices and reduce waste in the community, Grand Rapids, Michigan has launched a new recycling program. The initiative involves equipping three recycling trucks with specialized equipment that will help scan and identify items that cannot be recycled at the county facility. This will enable the city to sort recyclable materials more accurately, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced waste.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from Michigan EGLE and the Recycling Partnership. The goal of this initiative is to educate residents on proper recycling practices, with the ultimate aim of increasing the amount of material that can be reused. By promoting sustainable living, the city hopes to achieve its target of raising Michigan’s recycling rate to 30% by 2025.
According to John Gorney, Public Works Director for Grand Rapids, this new program is part of ongoing efforts to promote environmentally friendly practices and reduce waste in the community. Residents are encouraged to participate in proper recycling practices to help achieve these goals and create a more sustainable future for Grand Rapids. If non-recyclable items are found in their bins, residents will receive notifications so they can make necessary changes. With this new system in place, Grand Rapids is set to become an even more eco-friendly city than ever before.
