GOVERNOR TAFT ANNOUNCES MORE THAN $6,900,000
IN RECYCLE, OHIO! GRANTS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES

COLUMBUS, OH - Governor Bob Taft and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) today announced a total of $6,970,081 in Recycle, Ohio! Grants to 96 Ohio cities, counties and local solid waste management districts. The grants support recycling collection, waste reduction activities, awareness campaigns and litter prevention programs in local communities throughout the state.

"Recycle, Ohio! grants help local communities clean up litter, and improve curbside and drop-off recycling programs," Taft said. "These grants aid in conserving precious natural resources for the benefit of future Ohioans."

The state’s first recycling and litter prevention grants were awarded in 1981. Since then, more than $150 million has gone to Ohio communities to support local programs. The ODNR Division of Recycling & Litter Prevention administers the Recycle, Ohio! Grant Program.
