Delaware DNREC offers second round of 2016 recycling grants
<![CDATA[
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) is offering the second round of 2016 Universal Recycling Grants and Low Interest Loan Program funding in collaboration with the Recycling Public Advisory Council (RPAC).
The program places emphasis on:
- distribution of preapproved recycling instructional information to influence positive recycling behaviors;
- recycling outreach;
- school or university recycling programs;
- source-separated food waste recycling infrastructure development; and
- business, nonprofit, community organization or local government recycling programs.
“DNREC’s grant and loan program is again geared toward helping schools and businesses save money and reduce their environmental footprint by recycling in Delaware,” says DNREC Secretary David Small. “We want the grants to help businesses and organizations double the recycling rate across the commercial sector and achieve statewide goals for Universal Recycling championed by Gov. Markell. We’re now closer to another goal–of every Delawarean having access to recycling at home, at work, at school and at play–making recycling a way of life in the First State.”
This is the second application offering this year, and eighth grant cycle since the grant and loan program began in 2011. Application forms and the guidance document for the grants and low interest loans are available online.
