Adrian, MI – Lenawee County is helping residents make this Halloween a little greener. Beginning Friday, October 25, the county will offer special recycling boxes at several public libraries to collect used candy and snack wrappers through Thursday, November 7.
According to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), the program aims to reduce plastic waste from Halloween festivities by offering an easy drop-off option for wrappers that typically can’t be recycled curbside.
Residents can find collection boxes at:
- Adrian Public Library
- Tecumseh District Library
- Schultz-Holmes Memorial Library in Blissfield
- Britton Branch Library
The program is part of EGLE’s ongoing effort to promote sustainable practices across Michigan communities. Candy wrappers collected through the initiative will be recycled into reusable materials, helping to keep plastics out of landfills.
“Small actions like this make a big difference,” county officials noted in the announcement. “It’s a simple way to enjoy Halloween while protecting the planet.”
Residents are encouraged to visit the county’s website to learn which types of wrappers are accepted and how to participate.
