Applications for Recycling Performance Grants are now being accepted by the Department of Environmental Protection for materials recycled during calendar year 2004. (PaB 3264) The deadline is September 30.

Under the program, communities are reimbursed for the each ton of materials they recycle or market at the rate of $5 per ton and an additional $1 per ton for each percentage of material recycled in the community.

This year DEP will pay a bonus of $10 per ton for materials recycled or marketed from nonresidential sources.

For more information visit the Recycling Grant webpage or send email to: Todd Pejack, DEP.
