The City of Eaton Rapids is excited to announce the Mobile Recycling Program (MRP). Beginning Thursday, November 14, residents will have the opportunity to conveniently recycle a variety of materials. The MRP will be in Eaton Rapids on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Martin Hansen Amphitheater Parking Lot.
The Mobile Recycling Program is generously funded through Eaton County and the Michigan Department of the Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Infrastructure Grant. This initiative underscores commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship within the community.
The MRP will accept plastics (#1, #2 color/natural, #5), metal (aluminum, tin), glass, batteries, cardboard, newspaper, magazines and office paper. A complete listing of accepted materials can be found on the Eaton County website www.eatoncounty.org
The MRP is operated and staffed by the Eaton County Department of Resource Recovery, the MRP is a free service available to all residents of the City of Eaton Rapids. To ensure an efficient process, the department recommends presorting all recyclable materials. Each type should be separated for deposit in the appropriate trailer compartment. The trailer will be staffed by friendly Eaton County personnel who will assist the community in unloading vehicles and depositing materials into the designated compartments.
The Mobile Recycling Program is intended for residential use only, and not open for business or commercial use.
Please contact the Department of Resource Recovery for more information: Recycle@eatoncounty.org or (517) 543-3686.
