Our consultants have been at the forefront of resource recovery in Michigan since 1986.
Materials Management Plans guide your county and ensure that programs, services, policies, and facilities are planned for and coordinated among the various stakeholders, including waste haulers, municipalities, nonprofits, educational institutions, and others.
RRS is ready to support your community in navigating this new MMP process, from planning to implementation. We understand the significance of these changes and are committed to assisting you in developing a comprehensive and effective Materials Management Plan.
Good planning leads to good programs. RRS has supported the planning and implementation of some of the highest-performing programs in the state. RRS has worked alongside Michigan counties, municipalities, authorities, and the State on materials management initiatives. RRS knows the stakeholders, the landscape, the best practices, and how to establish sustainably funded and effective materials management programs.
We’re here to help you move swiftly through the plan requirements so you can use most of the state-issued funds for implementation, not planning.
