[FRC] Grant Opportunities from The Recycling Partnership

[Moore, Karen S.]

See below for some important announcements from the Recycling Partnership:

Special Coastal and Waterways Grant Program
The Recycling Partnership is announcing a special grant opportunity for communities along coastal and major waterway areas.  The Coastal and Waterway Community Recycling Community Recycling Grant Program Request for Proposals is open now through Friday, September 21.  Funding is available for conversion of bin or bag-based curbside recycling programs to cart-based collection or for start-up of new cart-based curbside programs.  Waterway litter clean-up activities are required as part of the grant project.  Communities that convert to or start cart-based collection and conduct clean-up activities are also eligible for optional funding for public space recycling containers.

 We welcome your assistance in making communities in your state aware of this grant opportunity and in identifying good grant candidates.  For more information on this grant opportunity, see https://recyclingpartnership.org/coastal-community-recycling-grant/ or contact Rob Taylor at rtaylor at recyclingpartnership.org<mailto:rtaylor at recyclingpartnership.org>

General Cart Grants and Other Resources
Even in a down market, there is still opportunity to build efficiency into curbside recycling collection programs.  So we also want to remind you about our ongoing general cart grant program and encourage you to help us recruit good candidates to this opportunity: https://recyclingpartnership.org/cart-grant/

And because we want the best possible quality of materials in all recycling carts, please also make your community recycling programs aware of our Recycling IQ toolkit to help fight contamination: https://recyclingpartnership.org/contamination-kit-tk/
