Rural Electronics Recycling Grants

The Rural Electronics Recycling Grant Program aims to provide ongoing support for permanent electronics recycling collection sites, reduce the cost of collection events in underserved (rural) portions of Michigan, and support Michigan-based electronics recyclers with operational efficiency updates. The program supports the state's goals of keeping harmful toxins out of the water, decreasing demand for harvesting virgin material, diverting commodities from landfills, and promoting recycling in Michigan.

Eligible projects include the operation of permanent electronics recycling collection sites, hosting collection events in rural areas, and operational efficiency updates for Michigan-based electronics recyclers. The program is part of Michigan's electronic recycling law (Part 173) which places responsibility on manufacturers to support proper management of these materials.
