Grant Applications Open to Support Clean, Safe Communities

Kentucky is now accepting grant applications for projects that support clean and safe communities.

Grant funds can help cities and other entities develop recycling and composting programs, offer educational programs, or host household hazardous waste collection events. Applications with regional projects are given priority. Each grant requires a 25 percent local match.

Grant funding comes from the Kentucky Pride Fund and is underwritten by a $1.75 per-ton fee on municipal solid waste disposed of in Kentucky’s contained landfills.

Applications must be postmarked or hand-delivered to the Division of Waste Management, Recycling, and Local Assistance Branch at 300 Sower Blvd, Frankfort, KY 40601, or emailed to williamt.collins@ky.gov by 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, 2025. The original application and any supporting documentation must be submitted for an application to be complete.

For more information, contact Grant White or call 502.782.6474. You may also visit the division’s website.
