Blue Bin and Glass Recycling Program contract
Summary
Lawrence County is finally bringing permanent glass recycling to residents, with a drop-off site at the Wayne Township VFD on Route 65 and another at the courthouse. It's true glass-to-glass recycling — containers get cleaned and sent back to market. Bins should be in place by the end of the month, with cameras to monitor misuse.

The county is picking a contractor for its three-year recycling program, with an option to extend two years. Tri-County Industries is cheaper by about $31,000, but the final award needs both Lawrence and Mercer County boards to sign off. Whichever bid is picked affects how recycling service continues for county residents.
