Michelle Metzler, Interim Vice President of Grant Implementation

(she/her/hers)

Michelle has 15 years of experience supporting communities, municipalities, and businesses in improving recycling practices. She spent over a decade working for WM, supporting cities in solid waste management, conducting research, and implementing data driven best practices to increase recycling.

Why I Care About Recycling 

“As we work to be better stewards of our planet and transition to a more sustainable economy, we need to responsibly manage resources that have already been extracted. Recycling helps to ensure that we’re maximizing the use and value of our shared resources.”
