Recycling

The facility will be closed to drop-offs starting at 5 pm on March 26th, through the fall.

The county's mission is to reduce landfill waste by 90% by 2030.

The City of Grand Rapids "Feet on the Street" cart-tagging recycling campaign will start in mid-September.

Anyone who's been saving their recycling is asked to start putting it out at the curb now.

Grand Rapids residents are still encouraged to put out their curbside recycling carts, although they'll now take the recyclables to the city energy incinerator.

You'll still be charged the $.10 deposit, but won't be able to return the bottles until after the order is lifted.

Shredded paper will also be banned.

Starting January 1, 2020, the Kent County Recycling & Education Center will no longer accept plastic shopping bags and shredded paper.

With more and more plastic entering our oceans every day, Corona is doing what they can to NOT be a part of the problem.

Excuse me while I air out my frustrations regarding this decision.

I don't know if you really will save a sea turtle but here's what you need to know.

It looks like another nice weekend in West Michigan. We have a variety of outdoor and indoor events. Several sporting events...from baseball, to boxing, disc golf, to auto racing. It is also the final weekend to see the Butterflies are Blooming exhibit. There will be tree planting, gardening, recycling, and even a White Elephant Sale. There is also a couple of opportunities to get rid of the unwanted drugs you may have.
