MACPA Environmental Impact Committee Notes

Links to Local Recycling Programs….

“Where can I find out if my papers are recycled or end up in landfills?” or “How can I promote efforts in the numerous communities we serve?”

Answer, follow these links. For now, local recycling programs…are all different. There’s no centralized repository of data, or one size fits all contact or coordinator in our members’ states. These regional links should be helpful, and certainly less tedious than outreach to every municipality….

In Ohio:
Contact your Solid Waste Management District (County & Multi-county, interactive map)
