Recyclable materials is processed at the SOCRRA center in Troy, Mich., on April 10, 2014. Gov. Rick Snyder released a plan Monday, April 14, 2014, to boost recycling of household solid waste in Michigan, which lags behind most other states despite once being a trendsetter with its beverage container deposit law. The initiative calls for doubling within two years the rate at which Michigan recycles cans, newspapers, bottles and other household refuse, presently estimated at 15 percent. Even then, it would remain below the national average, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency puts at 35 percent.
