BCSWA Receives Grant

Brooke County’s Solid Waste Authority will receive a $2,000 grant from the West Virginia Dept. of Environmental Protection’s Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan program.
The award was one of 25 grants totaling $52,550 given to 25 county solid waste authorities, county commissions and municipalities. 
The funding will be used to assist with wages for the county’s litter control officer. 
Funding for the litter control program is generated from 50 percent of civil penalties imposed upon persons convicted of unlawful disposal of litter and state agency facility recycling revenue.
