GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Grand Rapids residents who repeatedly fill their recycling carts with trash or dirty recyclables could soon have to complete an educational program before their carts are returned to service.
The new initiative is part of an educational campaign spearheaded by the city that’s planned for this spring to decrease contaminated materials and non-recyclables, specifically plastic bags, from entering the recycling stream.
