Waste Reduction Awards Program

 

Mid-Michigan residents, businesses, governments, public institutions and non-profit organizations all have one thing in common, they produce waste. What is uncommon about this common activity, however, are the extraordinary measures some have taken to reduce the amount of waste they generate and dispose of into landfills. To recognize and support these exemplary behaviors in Mid-Michigan, local recycling coordinators have established this regional awards program.

Mission Statement
The Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) is sponsored by a committee of local Waste Reduction professionals. The mission of WRAP is to publicly acknowledge residents, businesses, governments, educational institutions and non-profit organizations in Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties that have exemplary waste reduction and recycling practices and encourage others in the community to increase their efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle.

History
The WRAP program began in 2002 by recycling professionals in Ingham, Eaton and Clinton Counties in an effort to recognize those who go above and beyond and to help promote recycling and waste reduction to the community at large.

The Tri-County Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) is coordinated and sponsored by the following organizations:

  • City of Lansing, Waste Reduction Services
  • Clinton County, Department of Waste Management
  • Eaton County, Department of Resource Recovery
  • City of East Lansing, Public Works Department
  • Granger Recycling
  • Ingham County Health Department, Bureau of Environmental Health
  • Lansing Community College, Physical Plant
  • Michigan State University, University Committee, Office of Campus Sustainability
