Applications for funding from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Community Recycling Grant Program are due Sept. 6, 2024.
Counties, municipalities, solid waste management districts, universities, schools, and nonprofit organizations located in Indiana, are eligible to submit a Community Recycling Grant application requesting $1,000 to $100,000 in funding for recycling and household hazardous waste collection and disposal.
The Community Recycling Grant Program is funded through IDEM’s Solid Waste Management Fund. Eligible projects should focus on education and promotion of recycling, processing of recyclable materials, waste reduction, or HHW and organics management (including yard waste management and composting).
Grant funding is intended to create successful, cost-effective, and sustainable programs. Applicants must demonstrate a direct or indirect increase in waste diversion as a result of the project.
