Grants announced for Recycling, Household Hazardous Waste From John Mura/Robin Hartman Frankfort, KY - On Friday, June 16, 2023, Governor Andy Beshear and Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman announced $6.5 million in grants to local governments, fiscal courts and universities for 76 projects to expand recycling, reduce the amount of solid waste going into landfills and improve the handling of household hazardous waste. Russell County Fiscal Court was awarded a $157,279.32 Recycling grant, and Adair County was awarded a $9,000.00 Household Hazardous Waste grant. Gov. Beshear announced 33 recycling grants worth a little over $4.1 million, 33 household hazardous waste grants worth $905,241 and 10 composting grants worth $1.48 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: https://eec.ky.gov/Environmental-Protection/Waste/recycling-and-local-assistance/recycling/Pages/default.aspx. "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." This program awards three types of grants:
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. 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 4pmET on Monday, April 1, 2024.
