Solid Waste Management Applications Due

The Solid Waste Management Program provides grants, loans, or a combination of grants and loans for solid waste disposal, recycling, and waste tire projects. Applicants must clearly show how the project will advance the State’s solid waste management hierarchy; volume reduction at the source; recycling and reuse; use for energy production; and disposal in landfill or combustion for volume reduction. Show potential cost savings, public health, or environmental benefits in solid waste management, waste tire management, or waste tire processing for energy production; and develop a detailed workplan, time schedule, budget, and provisions for a final report. Eligible applicants include: individuals, partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations, counties, cooperatives, municipalities, regional or state-wide planning agencies, federally recognized Indian tribes, or special purpose districts that have the authority to construct or operate solid waste, waste tire, or recycling facilities. Applications are accepted on or before the first day of January, April, July or October.
