As MSU students leave for the summer, the City of East Lansing wants to ensure that adequate curbside recycling services are available. They will be offering an extra recycling day on Monday, May 9 in areas of the community with high student rental turnover.

“We believe this extra collection day will help to reduce trash overflow and litter in these areas, while providing students with extra opportunities to recycle as they move out of their homes for the summer,” said East Lansing Environmental Administrator Cathy DeShambo.
