Calhoun County has announced a new mobile Recycling Center program. The mobile recycling trailer will begin touring the county, beginning in September. The goal of the pilot program is to increase recycling access to rural townships. Based on data collected from the use of the C&C Landfill Recycling Passes, the pilot program will start with collection dates in Athens Township and Tekonsha Township. The trailer will also be available for local community events.
The heavy-duty blue trailer has various bins where recyclers will feed their own items, ranging from paper, cardboard, and a variety of bottles and cans. The truck and recycling trailer was purchased with funds from a 2020 EGLE Recycling Infrastructure Grant which the county received.
Recyclers attending the events will have staff on hand to show them how to use the recycling trailer. Recyclers will feed their own recycling items into the labeled collection bins and are encouraged to bring their material pre-sorted.
