Make A Commitment to Recycle- We All Win

Each year Mid Michigan Waste Authority celebrates America Recycles Day with a number of activities. Many of the 35 member communities recognize the importance of recycling and purchasing recycled content products by passing resolutions and proclamations. Residents make a promise to recycle by making a commitment on a pledge card. Everyone who makes a commitment is entered to win great prizes from Mid Michigan Waste Authority.

Whether you win a prize our not, when you recycle we all win.

	Recycling is good for the environment because we save valuable resources like oil, ore and water.
	Recycling reduces pollution and saves energy, too.
	Recycling creates and supports jobs in Michigan.
	Recycling with MMWA saves member communities money and that's a big win. Remember- "Too Much Trash Means Wasted Cash!"
