Materials Management Plan funding gap

Washtenaw County

Summary

The county's recycling and toxics programs run on landfill money, and Commissioner Eggermont says it would take $1.25 million a year to keep them going without it — plus up to $1 million more for new plan goals like education. The board has to figure out a funding path as the state-mandated planning process moves forward.
