MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - The Meridian Regional Recycling Event was held at Chippewa Middle School coordinated by Recycling and Energy Coordinator LeRoy Harvey.

This event had the help of 75 volunteers from Haslett and Okemos High School as well as volunteers from around the region.

Mattresses, metal, bicycles, household items, tires, box springs, latex paint and much more were being accepted at the recycling event.

"It's a great place to get rid of a bunch of stuff in one stop," Harvey said.
