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.

As part of International Compost Awareness Week, this MI Environment story highlights EGLE’s latest video on how My Green Michigan is collecting food waste from Michigan businesses to become compost.
My Green Michigan food scraps collection carts.
The video produced by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) highlights the work of My Green Michigan’s food scraps collection program. Founded by Hammond Farms Landscape Supply in Dimondale, My Green Michigan collects food scraps from businesses in southern lower Michigan to keep them out of the waste stream. These organics are diverted to regulated composting facilities that produce nutrient rich soils that can be purchased by both residential and commercial customers for use in gardens and larger projects.
