State awards Recycling, Composting and Household Hazardous Waste grants By John Mura/Robin Hartman Frankfort, KY -. (May 16, 2022) - Governor Andy Beshear and Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman on Monday announced nearly $4.7 million in grants to Kentucky municipalities, fiscal courts and universities for 71 projects to expand recycling, reduce the amount of solid waste going into landfills, and improve the environmental management of household hazardous waste. "I am pleased 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 promotes a healthy Kentucky and shows care for the environment and for each other." Local awards included:
This program awards three types of grants:
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. In order to apply for the next round of recycling, composting and household hazardous waste grants, applications should be postmarked or hand-delivered to Division of Waste Management, Recycling and Local Assistance Branch, or emailed to williamt.collins@ky.gov by 4 p.m. on Friday, April 3, 2023. The original application and any supporting documentation must be submitted in order for an application to be complete. Application materials and more information about the division's recycling effort can be found here: https://eec.ky.gov. This story was posted on 2022-05-17 06:21:06
