Committee identifies candidate sites for 2–3 new recycling drop-off locations

Charlevoix County Materials Management Planning Committee · July 30, 2026

Summary

The committee discussed planning for 2–3 new recycling drop-off sites, naming Hayes Township, Bay Township (Hudson Bay) and Hudson Township Hall as candidates and stressing geographic balance and collection frequency management.

Committee members reviewed the draft Materials Management Plan and focused on siting 2–3 new recycling drop-off locations to improve county coverage. Members named Hayes Township, Bay Township at Hudson Bay, and Hudson Township Hall as candidate locations and stressed geographic considerations when selecting final sites.

The minutes record operations guidance: "Josh Cline monitors how often bins are collected and adjusts as needed." The group also discussed potential inclusion of household hazardous waste (HHW) at some sites and suggested replicating successful local programs such as EJ Schools' composting efforts. Staff said RRS will assist with cost estimates and preparing a Part 115 checklist for site siting and compliance.

Next steps recorded in the minutes include delivering grammatical and content revisions for the August meeting and adding siting criteria, goals and objectives to the draft MMP following EGLE's recommendation.
