The county seeks a $20,000 state grant to continue its ongoing scrap tire recycling efforts.

The city of Ann Arbor is thinking of letting its contract expire with the nonprofit that started recycling in the city to cut costs.

Grants totaling $1.23 million aim to improve and expand recycling programs in eight Lower Peninsula counties.

Thermo King’s initiative, We Move Food, sees that healthy food that may otherwise be wasted is distributed to those in need.

The grant will be used to help advance recycling innovation and the national energy innovation agenda.

The grant was secured as part of Kent County DPW’s and The Right Place’s partnership to support the development of a Sustainable Business Park.

The town is considering a $190,000 increase for trash disposal costs and will begin developing a new collections contract.
