The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

Welcome to our seasonal recycling and composting page, where we explore the importance of responsibly managing items that see seasonal spikes in use. From pumpkins and autumn leaves to wrapping paper and Christmas trees, many of our holiday favorites can lead to increased waste. By recycling and composting these items, we not only reduce landfill impact but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Composting, in particular, transforms organic waste into nutrient-rich soil, effectively recycling nature’s materials.
Join us in making the most of each season while promoting eco-friendly practices!
