EGLE offers $3 million in recycling infrastructure, organics management grants | An official publication of Michigan Farm Bureau EGLE offers $3 million in recycling infrastructure, organics management grants A total of $3 million is available through the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Recycling and Organics Infrastructure Grant program for the development of recycling infrastructure or food waste management programs.

Schools and universities, local units of governments, non-profits, tribal governments, health departments, and solid waste/recycling authorities can apply for funding to improve recycling programs that would increase the amount of material collected or processed or to improve the level of participation in recycling programs.

For more information, contact Erica Richard at 517-284-8337 or [email protected] . The Recycling and Organics Infrastructure Grant program is part of a larger effort to increase the statewide recycling rate. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and state legislators want to double Michigan’s recycling rate to 30% by 2025 and ultimately reach 45% annually.

Michigan’s current 15% recycling rate is the lowest in the Great Lakes region and ranks among the nation’s lowest. The economic impact of tripling the recycling rate to 45% would support 138,000 new jobs in Michigan’s recycling industry, providing $9 billion in annual labor income and $33. 8 billion in economic output, according to a new study commissioned by EGLE.

The recycling industry in Michigan currently generates nearly 36,000 jobs statewide and an annual payroll of $2. 6 billion. Equally important, EGLE and its partners across the state are promoting awareness of cleaner recycling practices to reduce the amount of contaminated materials improperly going into recycling bins.
