It's #NationalStormwaterDay! 💧
DYK the water that flows into most storm drains feed directly into our lakes, rivers, wetlands, or to a stormwater pond?
That's why it's important to:
- Keep them clear of debris
- NEVER dump anything down the drains
- Pick up pet waste

A reminder to help out the planet by disposing your pumpkins properly.
Keep pumpkins out of landfills to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. SOCRRA communities can send their pumpkins to compost by placing them in yard waste containers w/“yard waste” decals or 30-gallon paper yard waste bags. 🎃♻️ #ClimateAction

Oh my gourd, we almost missed #NationalPumpkinDay! 🎃😱
Pumpkins are 90% water, meaning they break down quickly! So toss old Jack into a compost pile after the holidays or drop off at a collection site like @MSU_Recycling.

What's one item that doesn't belong in your recycling bin?
Plastic bags! #KnowItBeforeYouThrowIt
Plastic bags and other flexible plastics can tangle easily in machines and disrupt the recycling process. Take them to a local grocery store or retailer instead of adding them to your recycling bin at home! ♻️ #MIRecycles #KnowItBeforeYouThrowIt
