Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality Director Jim Macy announced the awarding of $2,257,791 in grants through the Waste Reduction and Recycling Incentive Grant Fund.
The “Keep Sidney Beautiful” program received $5,600 as part of the program. It will be used for an electronics collection event for local residents.
The Waste Reduction and Recycling Incentive Grant Fund is generated by a fee on solid waste disposed of in landfills, an annual retail business sales fee, and a fee assessed on the sale of new tires for motor vehicles. The grants are provided to local integrated waste management projects including: recycling systems, household hazardous waste collection programs, transfer stations, and yard waste composting. Tire fee grants totaling $2.01 million for projects related to tire recycling were previously announced in June.
