Van Buren Conservation District
Covid-19 Update
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent uptick in cases in Michigan, the Van Buren Conservation District is primarily working from home. Email is the best way to reach us, as we are checking voicemails infrequently. Please visit the staff link to obtain the staff member's email address that is appropriate for your inquiry. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we do our part to keep our staff and the rest of the community safe!
The Van Buren Conservation District is pleased to offer a free, non-regulatory empty pesticide container recycling program. If you have rigid, HDPE plastic containers that are 55 gallons or less and once-held pesticides used for purposes other than home use, you can sign-up to have these jugs collected and recycled. For a full description of eligible containers, please see below.
To participate in the program, you must sign up with the Van Buren Conservation District and schedule appointments to drop the jugs off. Appointment times are available throughout the year, weather permitting. To sign up for the program and schedule your first appointment, please contact the Recycling & Materials Management Coordinator, Kalli Marshall, at resourcerecovery@vanburencd.org or (269) 633-9314.
