GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Kent County Department of Public Works is asking residents to hold off on rolling their recyclables to the curb, after a mechanical problem forced the its Recycling & Education Center to shut down.
County officials said Monday a problem with a baler forced the facility to stop processing recyclables. Haulers that normally deliver recyclables were redirected to the county’s Waste to Energy Facility.
