STATEHOUSE NEWS

---

The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB) has installed new recycling containers inside the Ohio Statehouse, Statehouse parking garage and on Capitol Square, thanks to an Ohio EPA special assistance grant. CSRAB's new comprehensive recycling program has expanded locations and materials recycled at the Ohio Statehouse.

Thanks to a newly installed baler, CSRAB now has the capability to recycle the massive amount of cardboard the Statehouse collects. In addition, permanent and special event recycling containers have substantially decreased waste at the Ohio Statehouse. 'The recycling program brings us closer to our goal of improved efficiency and responsible management,' said William Carleton, executive director of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board. 'This program coupled with more efficient utility usage highlights our commitment to a 'greener Ohio Statehouse.'

Free-standing, green recycling containers can be found on the north, west and south Plazas of Capitol Square. Beige recycling containers can be found in the Statehouse parking garage at the north and south sliding doors, stairwells leading to the north and south penthouses, and the entrances to the Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts and the Huntington Center. Gray recycling containers are located throughout the Ohio Statehouse and the Senate Building.
