Michigan’s Pesticide Container Recycling Program provides cost-free recycling opportunities for pesticide users to properly and safely dispose of containers. The program is a partnership between the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program, the Michigan Agri-Business Association, the Ag Container Recycling Council and pesticide users across Michigan. The program ensures that plastics are recycled or converted to other beneficial uses instead of taking up landfill space and decreases the likeliness that unclean or improperly stored contents will leach pesticide residue into the environment.
LANSING, Mich. (May 9, 2023) – In a letter to the Michigan State University (MSU) Board of Trustees, Michigan Agri-Business Association President Chuck Lippstreu today called on the Board to address the lack of agricultural representation on the MSU Presidential Search Committee.
With spring upon us, or at least trying to arrive, MABA continued our advocacy and education efforts throughout April. We also brought together the Michigan CCA Board together for its first 2023 meeting and launched a series of “CCA Spotlight” profiles. We are looking ahead to events throughout the summer and into late 2023, and we hope you’ll take a moment to review some of these here! As always, we appreciate the partnership of our members and Michigan agriculture colleagues!
