Local projects funded for recycling, hazardous waste disposal From Robin Hartman Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, May 14, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced $6 million in grants for projects aimed at reducing solid waste in landfills and improving the management of hazardous household waste. The funding, which comes from state dollars supported through the Kentucky Pride Fund, will be provided to municipalities, universities and fiscal courts for 68 projects across the commonwealth. The Adair County Fiscal Court was awarded $15,000.00 for household hazardous waste disposal events, and the Russell County Fiscal Court was awarded $13,520.00 for the purchase of recycling equipment. "For years, this initiative has helped reduce the amount of waste piling up in our landfills," Gov. Beshear said. "By continuing to take proactive steps, we are making sure we are keeping Kentucky safe and clean for our kids and grandkids." The program awards three types of grants:
"These projects help shine a light on the importance of recycling home electronic equipment, which can contain metals that are harmful to human health if put into our landfills," said Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary John Lyons. "We encourage everybody to do their part to keep our communities healthy and consider the life cycle of these products and how to carefully dispose of them." For more information about the division's recycling efforts, please visit the Kentucky Division of Waste Management website. This story was posted on 2026-05-14 13:40:47
