Kentucky Gov. Beshear Announces $9 Million in Grants for Recycling Projects

Earlier this week, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced millions of dollars in grants for projects that will expand recycling efforts throughout the state.

These projects will look to reduce the amount of solid waste going to landfills and improve the handling of household hazardous waste. The funding will be used to purchase new recycling equipment and other equipment to manage food and organic waste.
