🎁 This holiday season, give the gift of sustainability! 🌍✨ Looking for the perfect present? Why not choose gifts that are as kind to the planet as they are to your loved ones?

We’re diving into waste! Ohio EPA conducted a Waste Characterization Study this fall to determine types and amounts of municipal solid waste going into our landfills. 🗑️ Supported by a U.S. EPA SWIFR grant, this critical project will shed light on what’s in our trash and how we can improve waste management and recycling. 🔍 Stay tuned for updates as we work towards a greener Ohio! 🌱♻️ #OhioEPA #WasteCharacterization #Sustainability #USEPA
