Ohio EPA awards state glass recycling grant

Ohio EPA awards state glass recycling grant

ST. BERNARD, OH (FOX19) - The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a grant to help glass recycling in the Tri-State.

n partnership with the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District, the Ohio EPA provided $250,000 on Monday to help purchase equipment to screen, clean and sort glass.

Included in the grant was Rumpke's new Cincinnati Recycling Center, which will feature a glass recovery system.

"Today's grant will help save landfill space and provide Ohio manufacturers with a necessary raw ingredient," Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally said at an Earth Day Event at Rumpke Recycling Cincinnati in St. Bernard.

Officials say adding cullet, or small pieces of post-consumer glass, lowers the melting point of other ingredients to create a finished glass product. By lowering the melting point, it results in less fuel and lower costs.
