Local and elected officials, members of the public, waste management businesses and professionals:
Please TAKE and SHARE this survey on waste, recycling, and composting activities in the Central UP. In 2022, the Michigan Legislature passed updates to Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act requiring county-level Materials Management Plans. The counties of the Central UP (Alger, Delta, Dickinson, Marquette, Menominee, and Schoolcraft) have joined together to create a regional plan to boost the capacity for waste diversion activities and services. Your feedback will be important in helping to shape the goals of this plan. Your local government will eventually have an opportunity to communicate a decision on local approval during the Plan's adoption process. To learn more about materials management planning in these counties, or to join meetings of the Central Upper Peninsula Materials Management Planning Committee, please visit www.cuppad.org/materials-management.
