Dart Foam Collection

Since we began the program in September 2018, we've been thrilled to be a Dart Foam Recycling Center! From collecting just one extra large bag in 2018, this program has grown in popularity. In 2019 we collected 20 bags, and in 2020 we collected 92!

This is important because #6 Plastics that are foam are currently not accepted in the curbside recycling program for our area! Examples of foam recyclables include: foam cups, to-go containers, egg cartons, ice chests, meat trays (rinsed), and protective packaging foam (excluding packaging peanuts).

Prior to this, the closest Dart foam recycling drop-off center was the Midland Recyclers Facility on Ashman Street in Midland, MI. This is still an option to drop off foam materials, but we are excited to give our community another location to recycle these materials.

You can drop-off for your foam materials just inside our front gates to the left of the admissions booth. To help us make the recycling process easier, please do not leave paper or plastic bags in our drop-off container.

Saginaw River Clean-Up

Since 2002, volunteers from around Saginaw have come together to participate in the Riverfront Beautification Day. During this annual event, volunteers help remove debris, plant trees and flowers, and pitch in on other cleanup projects along the riverfront.

Consider volunteering as an individual or group during the next Riverfront Beautification Day!
