City of Westland Announces Major Upgrade of Recycling Center
Westland, MI (April 27, 2021) - The City of Westland's annual Earth Day Celebration included an exciting announcement from Mayor William R. Wild for planned updates to its Recycling Center, located at 37137 Marquette.

In October 2020 The City received $50,000 grant from The Environmental Great Lakes & Energy (EGLE) to improve the Recycling Center site. Work will include site grading & resurfacing, making this easier for residents to drop off their materials to the Westland Recycling Center. Also included in this project are new directional signs, lighting and landscaping. Work is slated to begin in late spring.

The Westland Recycling Center features a solar powered compactor for single stream recycling and provides a one stop option for residents in condominiums and apartments who do not have access to the city's curbside recycling program. Additionally, it provides an option for all residents to drop off items that are not currently accepted at the curb, including glass, batteries, scrap metals and automotive fluids.
