Cambria Eyes Recycle Center

by 12/10/07 No Comments

The Johnstown Tribune Democrat reports that Pennsylvania’s Cambria County is looking to build a recycling center in order to create a source of revenue by selling recycled products directly to the companies that use these materials.

The county has budgeted $31,050 for a feasibility study on a new center. Cambria has already received a grant from the state’s Department of Environmental Protection that will cover 80 percent of the costs of the study.
