Adair to receive $15K household hazardous waste grant By John Mura/Robin Hartman Frankfort, KY - Governor Andy Beshear and Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman on Friday announced more than $4.7 million in grants to Kentucky municipalities, fiscal courts and foundations for 78 projects across the Commonwealth to expand recycling, reduce the amount of solid waste going into landfills and improve the environmental management of household hazardous waste. Local grants include:
"Kentucky is fortunate that so many municipalities are stepping up to reuse and recycle to reduce the amount of solid waste piling up in our landfills," Gov. Beshear said. "This shows care for the environment and for each other." There were 37 recycling grants worth $2.47 million, 28 household hazardous waste grants worth $798,964 and 13 composting grants worth $1.43 million. These grants require a 25 percent local match in the form of cash or "in kind" labor, educational activities or advertising to promote the program from those receiving the awards. A complete list of grant recipients can be viewed here: 2020-21 Recycling HHW and Composting Grant Recipients List (PDF). Secretary Goodman said some of these projects raise awareness about the importance of recycling home electronic equipment, which can contain metals such as mercury, which would be harmful to human health if put into landfills. "We all need to consider the life cycle of products and how we carefully dispose of them," Sec. Goodman said. Funding for the grants comes from the Kentucky Pride Fund, which is generated by a $1.75 fee for each ton of municipal solid waste disposed of in Kentucky landfills.
