WOZNIAK APPLAUDS CLINTON COUNTY WASTE PROGRAM


Wozniak

            HARRISBURG, February 2 State Sen. John N. Wozniak today applauded local officials for their environmental efforts and announced a pair of grants to reimburse Clinton County for its household hazardous waste program.

            “The safe disposal of household chemicals is an important part of protecting the environment and local health,” Wozniak said. “Clinton County residents have stepped up to promote proper handling of these chemicals and their efforts will pay dividends for future generations.”

            The Clinton County Solid Waste Authority was awarded a pair of grants totaling nearly $16,000 for conducting household hazardous waste collection events in May and August last year.

            The events were the fourth and fifth at the Wayne Township Landfill Recycling Center, and the August event drew more than 100 participating households and nearly 7,000 pounds of hazardous waste.

            The grants were issued by the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Household Hazardous Waste Program.
