Iowa Governor Chet Culver announced that 95 can redemption centers in Iowa will receive state grants to continue their efforts to reduce litter and encourage recycling, reported The (Iowa) Gazette. The Redemption Center Grants Program, which was passed into law by the 2008 Legislature and is being administered by the state Department of Natural Resources, allocated $1 million for improvements to independent redemption centers. "Some redemption centers are using their grants to get can-counting machines, business computers and facility developments that will make them more efficient to grow and better serve their communities," he said.
