<p class="MsoNormal">Hello State Recycling Leaders,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We just wanted to send out a quick reminder about our <b><a href="https://recyclingpartnership.org/coastal-community-recycling-grant/">Special Coastal and Waterways Grant Program</a>.
</b>The deadline for applications is September 21. If you know of any good candidate communities, please forward the information along to them and/or put them in contact with our coordinator of this effort, Rob Taylor, at
<a href="mailto:rtaylor@recyclingpartnership.org">rtaylor@recyclingpartnership.org</a>. The program is a great opportunity to combine transition to efficient cart-based curbside collection with initiatives to control waterway litter and to expand public space
