🌱 Meet Our Sustainability Award Winners – Week 6 🌱

Continuing our 7-week series, today we’re proud to spotlight Marietta Area Recycling Center, recipient of the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award for an Organization.

The Marietta Area Recycling Center (MARC), founded by Marilyn Ortt and Caroline Putnam, has operated as a non-profit, fully volunteer-driven recycling center for 50 years. In 2022, Kathy Ortt (Marilyn’s daughter) was honored by Rural Action as volunteer of the year. Sadly, MARC’s last day of operation was April 30, as the operation site has been sold. We offer this special award to all the volunteers who made MARC such a great community resource across the years.
