EMMET COUNTY, MI - When the cost of recycling is $0, why wouldn’t community members want to participate? That’s the model currently set up in Emmet County, where recycling is free and garbage is not, creating a natural urge to separate items to fill the green bins more and the garbage bags less.

The difference between recycling efforts in Emmet County and elsewhere across Michigan is a matter of longevity and investment in both recycling infrastructure and long-term relationships with businesses that re-use the materials. “The people at the time that were running Emmet County were very forward thinking in trying to incentivize recycling,” said Andi Tolzdorf, program director. Most of the companies that buy Emmet County’s recycled feedstock are in Michigan or other parts of the Great Lakes region. Tolzdorf said they make sure everything Emmet County Recycling accepts “is recyclable and is recycled.” They do not take anything that does not have a strong market, which she said means no Styrofoam. “The more we recycle, the more jobs we create here in the state of Michigan that stay in the state of Michigan.
