Robbins Announces Recycling, Sewage Treatment Grants

Harrisburg – State Senator Bob Robbins (R-50) today announced the awarding of a state recycling grant and a sewage treatment grant.

Robbins said Mercer County will receive $28,291 from the state Recycling Coordinate Grant Program. The grant will be used to reimburse Mercer County for 50 percent of the county recycling coordinator's salary and expenses.

In addition, the Senator said that Wilmington Township has been awarded $424 through the state Sewage Facilities Enforcement Grant Program. The funds will be used to reimburse Wilmington Township for 50 percent of the eligible expenses of enforcing state sewage standards.

"Our counties and municipalities spend a great deal of money to meet state requirements on recycling and sewage treatment, and it is important that state tax dollars are returned to the communities to help cover those costs," said Robbins.
