OAKLAND COUNTY — You may have noticed it walking around your neighborhoods, parks and local businesses. A surge of disposable, non-recyclable products such as surgical face masks, latex gloves and disposable cleaning wipes has contributed to increases in litter and potential environmental damage.
“There is a little increase in litter, at least that’s what I’ve seen anecdotally,” Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority General Manager Jeff McKeen said, adding that SOCRRA has seen about a 10% increase in waste coming from the organization’s member communities. “Some things are not being disposed of properly, and that’s a side effect of the pandemic, obviously, and everybody not disposing of everything properly.”
