Solid Waste Plans
Each county in the planning area has a “solid waste management plan” in effect until the West Michigan Shoreline Materials Management Plan is developed and approved by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). Currently approved county plans and plan amendments can be found at this EGLE website: https://www.michigan.gov/egle/about/organization/materials-management/solid-waste/planning/solid-waste-management-plans
