At the beginning of March we received word that our grant application to the Ohio EPA has been funded for the purpose of a countywide litter and tire cleanup. The total project cost is $32,875.00, with the Ohio EPA providing $26,300 in grant dollars and the CDC matching with $6,575.00 dollars. This funding will allow us to have four collection points around the county and each location will have 1 tire trailer and 6 dumpsters. This will be the 7th year that we have received this grant and provided for a countywide litter cleanup. Over the previous six cleanups we have collected 53,107 tires, picked up 6,166 bags of litter and removed 441.24 tons of illegally dumped material. Please stay tuned for more details as we finalize locations, dates and times. Below are some images from previous cleanups:
