Pennsylvania Awards Grants for Recycling Coordinators

Kathleen McGinty, Pennsylvania’s Environmental Protection secretary, awarded $200,849 in County Recycling Coordinator Reimbursement Grants to nine counties to help offset salary and expenses for county recycling coordinators.

“County recycling coordinators are the link between DEP and local municipal recycling and waste reduction programs,” Secretary McGinty said. “They compile yearly waste and recycling reports, organize electronics and household hazardous waste collections, create and maintain waste management plans, and offer a range of other support activities to local communities. They are a vital part of the continued success of recycling in Pennsylvania.”
