Mayor Wild recently announced the installation of new LED street lights in the historic Annapolis Park subdivision. The new lights, replacing the older incandescent street lights, will not only provide greater visibility to the residents of Annapolis Park but will save the City an estimated $2,100 per year in electricity expenses.
Are you an owner of a FlexFuel vehicle? If you are then you are trying to make a difference for our environment, but you also know how hard it is to locate a convenient service station that provides E-85 fuel near your Westland home. We are proud to announce that another service station in the City of Westland has recently started providing E-85 gas to Westland residents. The Mobil station at the southeast corner of Ford Road and Hix Road now has an E-85 pump for those that utilize that type of fuel in their vehicle. The first station to provide E-85 within the city’s boundaries is the Sunoco station at the northwest corner of Merriman Road and Palmer Road. Thank you to both station owners for providing this service to our sustainabale community.
As part of its ever-expanding Mission:Green initiative, the City of Westland now provides a permanent collection site for area residents, businesses and schools to drop off old electronics. The drop-off site is located at the Westland Recycling Center at 37137 Marquette. Items to be collected include Covered Electronic Devices (CEDs) such as computers, monitors, televisions and printers, Eligible Electronic devices (EEDs) such as mobile telephones, computer cables, mouse or keyboards, fax machines, MP3 players, PDF’s, video game consoles, VCR and DVD players, zip drives, scanners, and other devices such as microwaves, telephones, stereos, radios and small household appliances. No large appliances can be accepted such as air conditioners, stoves, refrigerators, etc. and please no hazardous waste or items containing mercury. While you’re at the recycling center you will notice that the center has now gone single-stream like our award winning curbside recycling program. Everything gets put into the compactor at the west side of the site unless collection is posted otherwise.
We make it easy to be green here in Westland!!!
