Adair, surrounding counties get recycling grants Grants in the 7-County ColumbiaMagazine.com area:
'Columbia/Adair County will use the $40,780 funds to purchase two major pieces of equipment: A Commercial Shredder, where people can get rid of destroy sensitive materials, and a book cutter, which will let us cut the backs off books and sell the paper," - Lisa Lee, Adair County Pride Coordinator said. By Terry Sebastian FRANKFORT, KY -Governor Steve Beshear today announced 59 recycling and 14 household hazardous waste (HHW) grants to expand recycling, reduce the amount of solid waste going into landfills, and sustain the environmental management of household hazardous waste, which includes electronic scrap and mercury from homes throughout the Commonwealth. The Kentucky Pride Fund, administered by the Energy and Environment Cabinet's Division of Waste Management, is awarding the 73 grants totaling $3,500,781.82. The Kentucky Pride Fund is funded through the $1.75 fee for each ton of municipal solid waste disposed of in Kentucky landfills. "Recycling and managing household hazardous waste play a large part in Kentucky's efforts to go green and conserve energy statewide," said Gov. Beshear. "The household hazardous waste grants allow homeowners to safely dispose of chemicals and other materials that pose a threat to human health and the environment." The grant awards reflect an increase of 21 recycling grants and 4 HHW grants awarded for the previous grant cycle. "Kentucky's growing interest in recycling is evident from the addition of 20 first-time recycling grant applicants," said Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Len Peters. "The Kentucky Pride Fund program is increasing the infrastructure that allows more Kentuckians to participate in the recycling, waste reduction, and reuse of materials we have on hand, thereby reducing our need for virgin materials and lessening our carbon footprint." The grants require a 25-percent local match in the form of cash or "in kind" personnel, educational materials, educational activities and advertising to promote the program from the cities or counties receiving the awards. Grant recipients, along with the grant amounts, follow: Recycling Grants
