Electronic Waste Collection Center Grants

The Bureau of Waste Management grant program has traditionally supported a wide variety of recycling and composting projects. The last competitive grant in 2007 funded eight projects for collecting electronic wastes in 2007-2009. All of these supported collection centers will have completed two years of supported funding sometime in 2010. For the current electronic waste recycling funding program, see the new Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) Initiative.

There are no new competitive grants expected this year. For current grant funding programs, see the Green Schools and Waste Tire-Derived Products grant information below.
