Join the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) for the 2024 Virtual Michigan Materials Management Conference on February 13-14, 2024. This conference provides regional, county, and municipal planners; landfill, compost, and recycling facility operators; and consultants with valuable information and tools to foster compliance, advance a circular economy, and reduce our carbon footprint.

In December 2022, Governor Whitmer signed an eight-bill package modernizing Michigan’s solid waste law. Attend this conference to learn about what the changes in the law mean for your organization and how they benefit everyone across Michigan. This is important as many of the new notifications and registrations required under the statutory changes are due by no later than March 29, 2024.

The Virtual materials Management Conference will use an online platform called Whova. Registrants will have the ability to network, chat with peers and EGLE staff, and contact speakers through the app.
