Beginning June 1, Putnam County residents can recycle their glass containers, removing about 155 tons of refuse from being deposited in landfills.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency awarded Putnam County a $100,000 grant to purchase glass collection bins and roll-off containers and to upgrade the transfer station as part of a county-wide recycling initiative.The county also will be working with Rumpke Recycling, who will be transporting and processing the glass.
“The grant money is solely to get our glass program up and running,” Community Recycling Coordinator Ashley Siefker said, “and we will be able to sustain it once we get all these improvements made.”
