The Department of Environmental Protection has extended the deadline for accepting applications for Section 902 Recycling Implementation Grants under Act 101 until October 29.  (formal notice)

Funding for these grants is predicated on the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.

The General Assembly took $50 million from the Recycling Fund to balance the state budget adopted in November.  Read more here.

Only those projects involving municipalities that have a mandatory trash collection program or projects seeking support for a residential recycling program that have a corresponding commercial recycling program will be considered for funding.

Potential applicants must contact the appropriate Department regional planning and recycling coordinator to schedule a preapplication conference to discuss application requirements and program particulars.

Read the entire PA Bulletin notice for additional information on priorities and eligibility requirements.  (formal notice)
