BoardThumb Region Materials Management Plan 2031
The Materials Management Plan for the Thumb Region outlines a comprehensive strategy to prevent adverse environmental and public health effects by ensuring sustainable management of materials. It aims to significantly increase material reuse and recycling, reduce landfill volumes, promote inter-county cooperation, and foster a circular economy across Huron, Lapeer, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties. Key objectives include achieving an interim municipal solid waste recycling rate of 30% by 2029, with a long-term goal of 45%, through improved recycling access for all sectors, market development, and comprehensive public education programs.
