Canton's curbside recycling program got a boost today.
The governing board of the Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne Solid Waste Management District agreed to provide an additional $133,500 to help get the program started.
The district had earlier given Canton $700,000 to purchase three trucks.
The additional money will enable the city to distribute 30,000 recycling bins, cover extra costs on the trucks and promote the program.
Canton Service Director Tom Nersbitt said the bins would likely be distributed in mid-June, a process that could take two months.
The city expects to begin the curbside recycling shortly after the first bins are distributed, he said.
In other action today, the board:
-- Approved a grant of $99,660 to purchase recycling equipment for the Jackson Township Recycling Station.
-- Provided $32,600 to the village of Doylestown to buy a leaf vacuum and recycling bins.
-- Gave $62,642 to the city of Rittman to buy a dump truck-chipper and pay for promotional materials for its recycling-composting program.
Don Bogner, president of Genahol Inc. in Wooster, told the board that he is investigating building an ethanol plant worth up to $100 million in the Canton area.
The privately funded facility would process household trash, liquid wastes and select construction materials, he said.
His company is seeking a $565,000 grant from the garbage district.
Bogner unveiled similar plans in 2004.
