Macomb County mandates no recycling. In Michigan, curbside recycling and accepted materials are set by each city or township, while the state regulates solid waste under NREPA Part 115.
The county imposes no recycling mandate and runs no countywide recycling program. Whether recycling is offered, which materials are accepted, and any sorting or contamination rules are set by your city or township and its contracted hauler. Michigan does not require residents to recycle statewide but regulates solid-waste handling and disposal facilities under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. Yard clippings are banned from Michigan landfills, so most communities collect them separately for composting. Check your municipal program for accepted recyclables and any composting requirements.
Recycling contamination or sorting violations are addressed by the hauler and municipality, typically by refusing the cart or issuing a local notice. The county sets no recycling penalties.
