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.

The Michigan Electronic Waste Takeback program supported the recycling of 11,567,000 pounds of potentially hazardous electric waste (e-waste) in 2020, the most recent numbers available.
That is 1.1 lb. of electronics per Michigan resident that was collected and properly disposed of. That's important because electronic waste is a growing issue in Michigan and around the world.
The Electronic Waste Takeback Program was established in 2008 as part of a law promoting electronic waste recycling. The program operates through the Materials Management Division at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
Here are a few statistics about the program in Michigan, the U.S. and the world:
