Mission:
The Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention (DRLP) is responsible for implementing statewide waste reduction, recycling, recycling market development and litter prevention programs. In addition, DRLP assists in implementing Ohio's Solid Waste Management Plan and encourages Ohioans to reduce waste, recycle materials and buy recycled-content products.
Through the Recycle, Ohio! program, the division develops model recycling programs designed to establish new and expand existing recycling initiatives throughout Ohio. In addition, the DRLP coordinates activities for the Interagency Recycling Market Development Workgroup. The group is responsible for developing Ohio's recycling market development plan which addresses how to strengthen markets for recycled materials in the state.
