Beginning May 1, 2012, Recycle World, located on the corner of M-91 and Sidney Roads, will no longer be a recycling drop off location for Montcalm County residents.  The County will be transitioning from the current mobile program to permanent drop-off locations.  For the months of May, June and July, recycling will be available at the current mobile sites; for the current locations and times, please click here.  This change does not affect the 24 hour site located at Leppinks in Howard City.  To view a Recycling Reference Guide of materials that will be accepted at the recycling sites, please click here.

Beginning August 1, 2012, the permanent 24 hour a day sites will be in operation.  Locations of these sites will be posted as soon as they become available.
