COLUMBUS -The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) has awarded Highland County, and the village of Lynchburg, funds to help improve their environment through litter prevention and beautification volunteer efforts. 
ODNR’s Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention will provide $102,513 to 54 communities across the state. Funding will support litter clean-up activities which involve the work of volunteers. The local beautification projects must take place during March, April or May on public lands.
Highland County received $2,000 to go toward roadside cleanup, and Lynchburg received $1,415 to go toward its community cleanup event "Greenup Day."
"Neighborhood clean-up programs improve the livability of Ohio communities by improving air and water quality, enriching aesthetics and making our communities safer," said ODNR Director Sean Logan. "The local commitments to conservation and sustainability make Ohio a more desirable place to live, work and raise a family."
Funding for the ODNR Litter Cleanup Grant program comes from tipping fees which are levied upon waste received at waste processing facilities. In this case, the facilities are construction and demolition debris landfills.
