Appliance recycling continues until Saturday
YOUNGSTOWN — Citing environmental and economic reasons, a steady stream of area residents is participating in an unprecedented joint state, county, city and private sector appliance recycling drive.
The three-day drive, which is funded by a $10,000 Ohio Department of Natural Resources grant, began Thursday and continues from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and Saturday at Youngstown Iron and Metal, a scrap metal processing company at 3009 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Jim Petuch, director of the Mahoning County recycling division, known as the Green Team, said this drive, which is collecting unwanted appliances made primarily of metal, is the first partnership of its kind that he has seen in his 25 years in the recycling field.
