On this episode of Now You Novi, we’re talking trash the right way.
Matt Wiktorowski and Rebecca Runkel from Novi’s Department of Public Works join us to break down two programs helping residents dispose smarter. First, Household Hazardous Waste events, offered through the Resource Recovery and Recycling Authority of Southwest Oakland County, give residents a safe way to get rid of items like electronics, old paint, chemicals, and more. These events take place throughout the year and are open to Novi residents.
They also talk about Novi’s new composting pilot program and how residents can start keeping food scraps out of the landfill. Compost drop-off is available through designated locations in the community, making it easy to take part and turn everyday waste into something useful.
If you have materials you’re not sure how to dispose of, or you’ve been curious about composting, this episode walks through what you need to know and how to get started.
