Summary
The board authorized application to the Ohio EPA for a $100,000 Recycle Ohio grant with a $25,000 local match to support community recycling education and litter‑reduction outreach; the motion passed by recorded roll call.
The Lucas County Board of Commissioners authorized county staff to apply for the Ohio EPA's 2026 Recycle Ohio grant for the community litter reduction program and to accept award funds if offered.
Nate Ingred of the Solid Waste District described the request as a $100,000 grant with a required $25,000 local match to support education and outreach aimed at improving recycling and reducing litter across the community. "Essentially, this is a grant in the amount of a $100,000 that we're requesting, with a $25,000 match," Ingred said.
A commissioner moved to approve the application and acceptance of funds if awarded. The clerk called the roll; Commissioners Sabecki, Hyrkin and Lopez recorded yes votes and the motion passed as recorded in the meeting minutes.
The authorization directs county staff to complete the application and, if awarded, implement the education and outreach activities described by the Solid Waste District. The transcript does not record further detail on the proposed match source or implementation timeline.
