The Keweenaw’s 2nd Annual Waste Reduction Drive
How much waste can we divert from the landfill as a community?
The MTU Sustainability Demonstration House is happy to announce the Keweenaw’s 2nd Annual Waste Reduction Drive! Start saving these six commonly used items that cannot be recycled curbside in the Keweenaw: (1) dental products, (2) razors, (3) plastic film, (4) foil-lined wrappers, (5) plastic bottle caps & rings, (6) egg cartons. We found a unique recycle/reuse opportunity for each of these items! Please refer to the official guide for more details on the items we are collecting and drop-off locations. Let’s work together to divert the amount of waste our community sends to the landfill!
