Summary
Bay Area Recycling presented the Manistee County PA 69 recycling report for January 2026, noting November totals of 67,100 pounds and a 2025 year-to-date total 96,480 pounds higher than 2024. The appendix lists a 2025 year-to-date total of 761,040 pounds.
Karla Smith-Kasten of Bay Area Recycling presented the PA 69 recycling program report to the Manistee County Green Team on Jan. 7, 2026. "The month of November showed 67,100 lbs total recycled for the sites," she reported, and the packet lists a 2025 year-to-date total of 761,040 pounds.
Smith-Kasten told the committee the program is tracking above 2024: "Currently, the numbers reflect 96,480 lbs more than what was recorded in 2024." The appendix (Appendix A) provided monthly breakdowns by site and year that the committee used to review pickup patterns and seasonal effects. The meeting record shows the committee discussed operational impacts such as snow removal, but no formal motions or votes were recorded on program changes during this session.
The report credited site-level collection totals across townships; the appendix lists town-by-town bin counts and monthly tons. Committee members did not take formal action at the Jan. 7 meeting; next steps referenced in the packet included an upcoming HHW bid review and continuing outreach efforts.
