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.

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.
