Recycling can be confusing!
Not all recyclables are collected at the curb. How do you find out where to recycle day-to-day stuff? Check your local government's website to find out what resources are closest to you.
Although many materials are technically recyclable, it can be difficult to figure out what and where you can recycle them. Recycling often quickly becomes confusing because each place recycles a little differently. At Recycle, MI we have an easy trick for you to always recycle right - you just have to ask yourself two questions.
CAN THIS MATERIAL BE RECYCLED?
You’ve come to the right place! By exploring this page, you will begin to understand what materials can be recycled. Sometimes your waste contains a mixed material like a milk carton or juice box which is often a combination of plastic and paper. Even though both of those materials are recyclable, when materials are combined is can get, well, complicated.
WHERE CAN I RECYCYLE?
Recycling programs are limited by technology and resources, meaning most programs have a very limited amount of materials that they can collect. Even if something is recyclable it doesn’t mean that your local recycling program can accept it. We recommend always checking with your recycling program before putting something in your curbside cart or leaving it at a drop-off center. A list of recycling contacts, by county, can be found by clicking the EGLE Recycling Directory above.
