Recycling Performance Grants Available

Local governments with recycling programs are eligible for Recycling Program Performance Grants.  Grant awards are based on the total tons recycled and the recycling rate of the applicant.  

Eligible materials include post-consumer aluminum and steel cans, glass, plastics, cardboard, newspapers, and other marketable paper products.  Recycleables from residents, businesses, schools, colleges, universities, and community events count toward the grant.

Applicants must keep documentation showing that materials were eligible, generated within the applicant's boundaries, and were recycled or marketed during the covered year.  Residues from collection or marketing of recyclables are not eligible.
