Recycle where you Live, Work, & Play

Recycle, Michigan™ is a marketing campaign developed to raise awareness and participation in recycling programs across the state. Recycle, Michigan™ is a vital part of contributing to the quality of life we value, the jobs and economy we grow, and the natural resources we strive to conserve and protect.

Everyone lives in Recycle, Michigan™

Recycling’s success lies with individual action.  Recycle, Michigan™ encourages Michiganders to recycle where we live, work and play.

The campaign is designed to deliver a clear message of every Michigan resident’s role in recycling. Learn about the recycling opportunities where you live, work and play. Reduce waste, recycle, compost and purchase wisely. Ask for recycling where none appears available. Begin a conversation about the value of recycling in your community or to your employer. Share resources and build community.

Make your community a Recycle, Michigan™ community

Building universal recognition for Recycle, Michigan™ unites recycling concepts and behaviors under one umbrella to build the continuity of purpose necessary to grow recycling rates through consistent outreach, education, and convenient access to quality recycling programs from Alpena to Allegan, from the Keweenaw to Kalamazoo.

The Recycle, Michigan™ logo serves as a reminder. A reminder to put recyclables in the right place, wherever you are.  The logo also serves as a proclamation. We recycle here. We’d like you to join us.

The Michigan Recycling Coalition’s (MRC) public and private partners are encouraged to combine the campaign’s collateral material with complimentary local education, information, collaboration and advocacy efforts to provide the “how-to” and “where-to” information necessary to increase business and consumers’ recycling knowledge and ability to act. We want to work with you to raise the visibility of your community’s recycling opportunities and achievements that contribute to local economic and environmental health.
