Do's & Don'ts of Recycling
Residents in both the City of Frankenmuth and
Frankenmuth Township receive trash and recycling
services through the Mid Michigan Waste Authority
(MMWA). If you're located within the City, you also
receive yard waste pick up. This next year, the MMWA
is making special efforts to educate residents on how
best to recycle. Contamination in recycling is increasing
costs. Many well-intentioned recyclers place non-
recyclables (like plastic bags and greasy pizza boxes)
in with their recycling bins. This "wishful recycling"
is expensive because communities pay recyclables
processing rates for trash that should have gone to a
landfill. As a recycling community, we need to understand
that recyclables are raw materials that have a value and
we need to carefully sort our materials. If you have any
questions about recycling, please contact the City or
visit www.recyclemotion.org!
