Small communities in Michigan have a resource to help them educate households about how and what to recycle. The Michigan Small Community Education Grant Program, an effort funded by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) along with The Recycling Partnership, the nonprofit action agent transforming the U.S. residential recycling system for good, is open and available for communities to apply.
