Did you know that approximately 75% of the trash that is thrown away each week is recyclable? Yet only 25% is actually recycled. One of the cornerstones of The City of Westland Mission Green Initiative is Recycling.
The City of Westland is excited to offer its residents curbside single stream recycling.
