2010 & 2011 Funding
Good news! Funding has been received from USDA for fiscal year 2010 in the amount of $100,000. This will enable the staffing to continue and a Household Hazardous Waste collection to take place. Funding for 2011 has been secured through a grant from USDA in the amount of $87,197.

USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Program has awarded Missaukee County a grant for recycling equipment covering 25% of the purchase up to $9,000. A skidsteer is needed. Funding sources are being sought for the remaining balance.

The Missaukee County Recycling Center operates because of community support. Kiwanis, non-profit groups, jail trustees, community service individuals, a generous $32,656 anonymous donation for the construction of a building in addition to the $10,000+ from Missaukee County and townships, Missaukee Conservation District grant writing and, of course, individuals and businesses who bring their recyclables to to the facility has enabled the M^cRC to be where it is today. A grant was awarded to Missaukee Conservation District in the amount of $75,245 in 2009 for the purpose of recycling education and recycling operations through USDA Rural Development Solid Waste Management. Four part time positions have been filled: Recycling Educator, Lead Recycling Coordinator, two Assistant Recycling Coordinators.
