Kent County, Mich., recently became the first Michigan community and sixth nationally to receive an education grant from the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI) to increase awareness of recycling clean and empty cups and takeout food containers.
Kent County will use its FPI Community Partnership education grant to raise resident awareness about what can and cannot be recycled. In addition to paper, cardboard, metals, glass and cartons, Kent County residents can recycle clean and empty plastic cups and containers and pizza boxes.
