Recycling in state parks

You can recycle at many of our state parks, recreation areas, and harbors. We partner with the Michigan Recycling Coalition to support these efforts.

Green tips for your camping trip

  • Pack your food in reusable containers to minimize package waste.
  • Bring reusable water bottles instead of bottled water. Fill your reusable water bottle with water from home or a campground water source.
  • Bring a bag to collect recyclables and either bring them home or deposit into park recycling containers.
  • Bring reusable plates and silverware.
  • Use biodegradable soaps.
  • Be familiar with Leave No Trace principles.
