Clean Up and Green Up in Traverse City
Several northern Michigan businesses are coming together to share a common message - and a common goal.
It's called "Clean Up and Green Up" - a community wide reuse and recycle effort in Traverse City. It's sponsored by the Michigan Green Consortium, and its member businesses throughout the region.
It's a chance for area residents to bring everything from cans and bottles... newspaper and cardboard... to batteries and old appliances. Organizers say they do it in conjunction with daylight savings time - to remind people to use that extra hour to reduce waste and keep trash out of the landfills.
While this was a one-day event - the Michigan Green Consortium says they'll do it again early next year - when you "spring forward" and set your clocks ahead one hour.
