Recycling

With Christmas this Sunday, you might be wondering when City of Grand Rapids offices are closed and what services will be running.

The list of items that are illegal to throw in the trash in Michigan is kind of surprising.

You got up on the ladder, only to plug them in and find half of the strand is out. But before you throw them out- make sure you're not causing extra waste.

Thanks to my wife Lindsey I learned about this FREE and convenient service offered to Kent County residents.

Everyone loves Michigan. However, no one warns people of the things to expect once you move. Here are five things that you need to know before moving to Michigan.

Got cardboard boxes piling up from pet product deliveries? A local pet supply store is offering to shred at no charge and it will benefit rescue animals in West Michigan.

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.
