Currently Montcalm County recycles approximately 800,000lbs per year. The county mobile site program takes in 500,000lbs and Greenville curbside takes in around 300,000lbs. With 60,000 residents this amount is on the low side, however being a largely rural community these numbers are above similar rural counties.

Recycling in Montcalm County wouldn't exist to even this scale if the county didn't have a landfill. Around $.80 is paid to the County to fund waste diversion efforts (Recycling, HHW, Education), per ton of waste the enters the landfill.

In August 2012 the mobile sites will be replaced with permanent unmanned drop off sites and yearly recycle poundage is expected to double the current amount.
