Qualifying elementary, middle and high schools are eligible to receive up to $200 for waste reduction equipment or educational materials.  Funds are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis beginning September 1st.  All grant requests should be consistent with SWANCC’s goal of encouraging the practice of waste reduction by reducing the amount of generated waste materials, also known as source reduction, and recycling as much of the remaining waste stream as possible.

Funds will be given to purchase the following items, but are not limited to:

Purchase of reusable lunch bags, food containers and napkins.

Purchase of interior or exterior recycling bins.

Purchase of reusable dry erase boards for a classroom or student practice work (public schools only).

Purchase of indoor vermi-(worm) composting bins or outdoor composting bins.

Purchase of SWANCC-approved educational books and videos.

Applications must be received by October 31st.

The 2008 Grant form will be able for download in August 2008.
