WOZNIAK APPLAUDS JOHNSTOWN RECYCLING EFFORTS

            HARRISBURG, February 2 – State Sen. John N. Wozniak today applauded local officials for their recycling efforts and announced a grant to reimburse Johnstown for recycling expenses.

            “Local government effort is key to preserving the environment and reducing landfill waste,” Wozniak said. “Johnstown officials are doing their part to preserve a cleaner, healthier future for our children.”

            The City of Johnstown has been awarded an $11,455 grant for recycling more than 1,200 tons of waste in 2008.  The Recycling Performance Grant was released by the state Department of Environmental Protection this week  as part of the state’s effort to help Pennsylvania communities increase the amount of materials recovered through recycling and promote economic growth through job creation and market expansion.
