PURPOSE:
The primary purpose of the Clinton County Solid Waste Management District is to increase waste reduction by encouraging recycling and litter prevention activities throughout Clinton County. One method in which the Solid Waste District promotes this message is by maintaining a presence in local schools, thus educating the students, teachers, and staff about ways in which they can play an active role in conserving and protecting our natural resources.
With this in mind, the Solid Waste District is sponsoring the PEAR Grant to provide schools with the necessary resources to implement recycling and litter prevention activities on their campuses, furthering the environmental education and participation of all individuals.
