Mid-Michigan
residents, businesses, governments, public institutions and non-profit
organizations all have one thing in common, they all produce waste.
What is uncommon about this common activity, however, are the extraordinary
measures some have taken to reduce the amount of waste they generate
and dispose of into landfills. To recognize and support these exemplary
behaviors in Mid-Michigan, local recycling coordinators have established
this regional award.
Those eligible
include:
Businesses (Any Size)
Non-Profit Organizations/Churches
Education Institutions
(College, University, Public/Private/Charter School)
Government Agencies (Office or Department)
Applicants
will be evaluated on the following criteria:
Efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle
Efforts to educate about recycling and waste reduction issues
Efforts to purchase materials made from recycled content
