HARRISBURG – State Senator Gene Yaw (R-23) today announced that Union County will receive state funding to continue promoting its recycling program.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Union County will receive $23,088.48 under the County Recycling Coordinator Grant Program of Act 101 of 1988.
Yaw said the amount will be used to reimburse 50 percent of county recycling expenses.
