Glass Recycling Foundation grants of up to $20,000 are available to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, waste management districts, and manufacturers for recycling projects. Funding is intended for educational projects and pilot projects related to the recycling of glass products. The grant's purpose is to increase glass recovery and diversion from landfills and connect glass generators with end markets.
The two categories of projects allowed under the grant program are demonstration/pilot projects and education:
• Demonstration/Pilot Projects: Projects should address specific gaps in the glass recycling supply chain and provide alternative strategies for strengthening glass end markets.
• Education Projects: The projects need to present a clear message and strategy for educating the public about the environmental and community benefits of recycling glass and improving the quality of diverted materials from residents.
The Kentucky League of Cities serves as the united voice of cities by supporting community innovation, effective leadership and quality governance.
