How is the WWRA Funded?

We were recently asked, “how is the WWRA nonprofit funded?”
The WWRA is funded through three revenue streams:
1) Taxes: The WWRA is funded by two assessments that appear on the Winter Tax bill. One assessment is for paying the bond used to buy new equipment and the other is an operational assessment.
2) Grants: The WWRA receives recycling grant money from the State of Michigan, The Recycling Partnership, EGLE, and other organizations.
3) Recycling Bales: After sorting recyclables at our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), recyclables are baled and sold to recycling facilities. Learn more about who purchases our recycling by scanning the QR code included on our infographic
