Solid Waste Management Grants - Due Jan. 2

Grants are available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) - Rural Development (RD) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) grants to address water pollution. Funding is intended to help small communities and utilities better manage solid waste disposal. This program reduces or eliminates pollution of water resources by providing funding for organizations that provide technical assistance or training to improve the planning and management of solid waste sites.

Funds may be used to:

  • Evaluate current landfill conditions to identify threats to water resources.
  • Provide technical assistance or training to enhance the operation and maintenance of active landfills.
  • Provide technical assistance or training to help communities reduce the amount of solid waste coming into a landfill.
  • Provide technical assistance or training to prepare for closure and future use of a landfill site.
