A new edition of the Van Buren County Recycling Guide has been released. The county recycling and materials management coordinator says the guide can help anyone find resources for all kinds of items. The book features an A to Z list of materials like concrete, household goods, motor oil, and more. It also has a list of all the drop off transfer stations for trash and recycling in Van Buren County. The cover of the book highlights Fish Over Troubled Water, a project by artists Jeff and Theresa Heaton at Cheeky Chic-y Studio in Lawrence. Their art focuses on reusing found materials to make art, and Fish Over Troubled Water includes trash found on the shore of Lake Michigan near South Haven. Support from Green Earth Electronics Recycling, Biz Aid Recycling, Paw Paw Rentals, and the Van Buren Conservation District helped print up the new books. You can pick them up at libraries throughout Van Buren County and the Van Buren Conservation District.
