Your commitment to recycling shouldn't end when you leave your home. The Genesee County Metropolitan Planning Commission will deliver recycling receptacles for you to use during your next community event. This is a FREE service. Hundreds of pounds of material have been collected and recycled through the "Borrow Our Bins' program. Some of this recycled material can now be processed into new products such as fleece, carpet, children's toys, stuffing for pet beds and pillows, water bottles and more.
