A grant will help plastic drainage pipe recycling efforts in Pandora. The Ohio EPA is giving the Putnam County Solid Waste Management District $200,000 to increase recycling capacity at Green Line Polymers. The company is a subsidiary of ADS.

ADS is providing $200,00 in matching funds plus an extra $368,000. Along with the capacity to handle more than 6 million pounds of recycled drainage pipe over four years, Green Line also expects to hire 14 full-time workers over the course of the grant.
