A statewide initiative to encourage the commercial and industrial sectors to provide more data about their recycling efforts is being promoted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency in a partnership with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, Ohio Council of Retail Merchants and Ohio Manufacturers’ Association.
Dina Pierce, an OEPA spokesperson, said the agency recently established a collaborative website that includes contact information for each solid waste management district in the state and access to a survey the districts conduct annually to determine the amounts and types of materials being recycled by businesses.
