Recycling shows savings
Westland has seen a $1.5 million sav-
ings since the inception of the award-win-
ning recycling program in the city, accord-
ing to theWestlandMission:Green team.
The recycling program began in 2009
and the savings has been calculated since
that time.
“Westland's single stream curbside
recycling program has diverted over 80
million pounds of trash away from the
landfill in the last eight years,” remarked
Westland Mayor William R. Wild. “The
commodity markets have fluctuated over
that time period but the program contin-
ues to saveWestland taxpayersmoney and
helps the environment by lowering the
city's carbon footprint.”
The program boasts a 78 percent par-
ticipation rate and recycling is picked up
on a bi-weekly basis from 25,000 single-
family homes in the city, according to a
prepared release.

ceremony in Wayne is planned for
