Butler, Warren counties among those receiving funding to clean illegal dumps

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet announced that nearly $1 million will go to multiple Kentucky counties in an effort to clean up illegal dumps.

Officials say more than $932,000 will go to clean up 85 illegal dumps in 17 counties and support healthy communities across the Commonwealth.

Butler and Warren counties are among those receiving funding.

As part of the grant, counties agree to provide a 25% match, which may be waived for dumps where cleanup costs exceed $50,000.
