The Indiana Department of Environmental Management is offering grant funding for recycling and household hazardous waste collection and disposal from the agency’s Community Recycling Grant Program.
Counties, municipalities, solid waste management districts, schools and nonprofit organizations are eligible to submit applications for a Community Recycling Grant under $50,000. Applications are being accepted through Dec. 20, 2019 at 5 p.m. EST.
Grants are funded through IDEM’s Solid Waste Management Fund.
Eligible projects should focus on education and promotion of recycling, processing of recyclable materials, waste reduction, and HHW and organics management (including yard waste management and composting). Grant funding is intended to create successful, cost-effective programs. Applicants must demonstrate a positive environmental impact within the project service area, an increase in waste diversion as a result of the project, and show the sustainability of the project.
Final funding determinations will be made in February of 2020.
