Ohio Recycling Program Gets $75K for Educational Outreach

The program came to fruition from a $75,500 cash grant, and the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners is contributing over $40,000 in matching funds to help amplify the impacts of the program.

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): The Mahoning County Solid Waste District — better known as The Green Team — has joined with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and The Recycling Partnership to help bring an educational outreach recycling program to Mahoning County.

The Mahoning County drop-off recycling program will be able to provide educational outreach, engage with patrons at drop-off recycling sites and make infrastructure improvements to help patrons better understand the recycling program and items that can and cannot be recycled.

The program came to fruition from a $75,500 cash grant, and the Mahoning County Board of Commissioners is contributing over $40,000 in matching funds to help amplify the impacts of the program.
