Communities, schools, and businesses all over central Ohio are committed to using resources responsibly and to diverting waste from the landfill. This November, SWACO is proud to recognize some local sustainability superstars that have been Caught Blue Handed in their work to recycle, compost, and otherwise keep waste out of the landfill.
