On July 23, the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority announced it will be accepting applications for recycling mini-grants from Centre County municipalities, businesses, recycling collection haulers, schools, healthcare institutions and non-profits.

Grant applications will be accepted online from August 12 to October 4.

The CCRRA mini-grant program is intended to provide reimbursement grant funds for Centre County-based projects that improve recycling education and collection of materials to be processed by CCRRA. 

Grant funds are made available based upon the market performance of recycling commodities processed by CCRRA for the prior calendar year with funding levels subject to change each year. 

The total amount available for this mini-grant round is $91,000 and mini-grant awards can range from $1,000 - $15,000 depending on the project.

Check the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority website beginning August 12 for additional details on the program and how to apply.

Questions regarding the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority’s mini-grant program should be directed to Mimi Cooper, CCRRA Recycling Coordinator at mcooper@centrecountyrecycles.org or by phone at 814-238-7005.
