TAFT ANNOUNCES NEARLY $7 MILLION IN RECYCLE, OHIO! GRANTS
COLUMBUS (November 17, 2003) - Governor Bob Taft has announced $6.9 million in Recycle, Ohio! grants to 98 local communities, counties and solid waste management districts across the state. The grants support recycling collection, waste reduction activities, community outreach campaigns, and traditional litter prevention programs at the local level.
"Improving curbside and drop-off recycling programs and helping local communities clean up litter are activities that benefit all Ohioans," said Taft. "These recycling grants play an important role in the effort to conserve our state's natural resources."
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Recycling &
Litter Prevention administers the Recycle, Ohio! grant program. Since 1981,
more than $180 million has gone to Ohio communities to support local recycling,
litter prevention and recycling market development efforts. This figure includes
the 2004 grants. Funding for the program is derived from a corporate franchise
tax on Ohio businesses that manufacture or sell products that might become litter.
