Materials Management Planning
Recent changes to State law require all Counties in the State to update their existing Solid Waste Management Plans and develop new Materials Management Plans. This new process reflects a transition away from ensuring sufficient landfill capacity for waste disposal and focuses instead on establishing benchmark recycling standards, developing material utilization goals and identifying the highest and best use for all the things residents and businesses throw away.On September 5, 2024, the Wayne County Board of Commissioners authorized the filing of a Notice of Intent to the State of Michigan indicating that Wayne County would develop a single-County Materials Management Plan, the appointment of a new Materials Management Planning Committee and the designation of the Department of Public Services-Environmental Services Division (ESD) as the Designated Planning Agency.

Disposal of Used Electronics - Continual and rapid changes in the technology field can make high-technology equipment like computers, televisions, phones and other products obsolete very quickly. Many options are now in place to accept old and unwanted electronic items for recycling. Recycling outdated electronics helps in the safe management of their potentially hazardous components and supports the recovery and reuse of valuable materials. It also helps reduce the pollution and energy use tied to the production of new electronics.
