WHAT IS the mission of MIDLAND RECYCLERS?
“To inspire the community to make a positive impact on the environment by providing the means and know how to reuse and recycle.”
HOW IS MIDLAND RECYCLERS DIFFERENT FROM CURBSIDE RECYCLING?
Your city or township contracts with Republic Waste or Waste Management to pick up and process curbside recycling. Midland Recyclers is a non-profit 501c3 organization serving the Great Lakes Bay Region for over 31 years.
MIDLAND RECYCLERS ACCEPTS “HARD TO RECYCLE” ITEMS THAT CANNOT BE RECYCLED AT CURBSIDE.
WHAT ARE “HARD TO RECYCLE” ITEMS?
Plastic bags, shredded paper, vinyl siding, polystyrene foam, batteries, electronics, and colored glass containers. (Look inside for a complete list of what we accept.)

Description:
The mission of the Kent County Department of Public Works is to foster collaborative and innovative solutions that deliver value to our stakeholders by managing discarded materials to conserve natural resources and promote a healthy, vibrant and sustainable community.
Kent County’s Recycling and Education Center serves as the primary materials recovery facility for residential recyclables generated in homes throughout West Michigan. A materials recovery facility, or MRF (murf), is a processing facility where recycling from curbside bins and drop-off recycling centers is sorted and prepared to be sold to processors and end-users. Nearly 58 million pounds of recyclables were delivered to the facility in 2017. These materials were put back into our economy as feedstock for new products like cereal boxes, glass bottles, toys, packaging, clothing, park benches and more.
