Description:
The mission of the Kent County Department of Public Works is to foster collaborative and innovative solutions that deliver value to our stakeholders by managing discarded materials to conserve natural resources and promote a healthy, vibrant and sustainable community.
Kent County’s Recycling and Education Center serves as the primary materials recovery facility for residential recyclables generated in homes throughout West Michigan. A materials recovery facility, or MRF (murf), is a processing facility where recycling from curbside bins and drop-off recycling centers is sorted and prepared to be sold to processors and end-users. Nearly 58 million pounds of recyclables were delivered to the facility in 2017. These materials were put back into our economy as feedstock for new products like cereal boxes, glass bottles, toys, packaging, clothing, park benches and more.
Description:
Kinross Charter Township has a drop off site for glass, plastics, paper, metals,and cardboard adjacent to the Waste Water Treatment Plant Offices on Kincheloe Road. It is accessible by the public 24/7
A major upgrade to the treatment plant is near completion. It is planned to be fully operational by the Fall of 2020. At that time, Food Waste and FOG (Fats, Oils & Grease)will be accepted.
The economic feasibility of installing of a Forced Air Stack Composting System is being studied during the Summer of 2019. If constructed, green waste and other compostable materials will be accepted.
