Single Stream Recycling Program
Since 2010, the City of Grand Rapids has offered a new and improved way of recycling. We call it "Single Stream" recycling. This recycling program allows you to place all of your clean recyclable materials in one cart. You no longer need to sort your recyclables. This makes recycling easier for residents.
