The city of Madison Heights recently began the rollout of new high-capacity carts for trash and recycling. Beginning Oct. 6, the carts will be required for curbside pickup. During a kickoff ceremony Aug. 18 at the bandshell in Civic Center Park, officials touted the program as a historic expansion of the city’s recycling efforts — the largest of its kind in the city’s 70-year history.
“This project is about more than just waste management. It’s about investing in our community, supporting local jobs with carts made here in Michigan … and protecting our environment for future generations,” said Madison Heights Mayor Roslyn Grafstein, in her speech.
“Recycling is more than a good habit. It is a commitment to keeping Madison Heights and Michigan beautiful, healthy and sustainable,” Grafstein said. “And starting today, our city is taking another big step toward that vision.”
