CHARLESTON -- Three local counties were awarded a portion of $300,000 from the West Virginia Solid Waste Management Board on Friday.

Wayne County received more than $16,000 to go toward operating expenses like insurance, fuel, utilities and wages.

In Lincoln County, exactly $16,000 will go toward transportation of recyclables and wages, and Mason County Solid Waste Authority will use $6,700 for fuel, maintenance costs and educational conference expenses.
