Solid Waste

TDEC accepting applications for grants

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) is accepting applications for the first round of recycling and solid waste reduction grants this year for communities and other eligible entities across the state. A total of $2.45 million is available.

The grant program, administered by TDEC’s Division of Solid Waste Management, encourages and supports local communities and other eligible entities to meet their solid waste and recycling goals. Local governments can divert more waste from landfills through infrastructure upgrades and provide convenient opportunities for residents to get engaged in the process. Recycling directly impacts every resident of Tennessee and manufacturers who use materials collected in their manufacturing process.

Grants will be offered in four other categories – recycling equipment, used oil, convenience centers, and household hazardous waste, and a recycling rebate. TDEC is contacting potential applicants about the grant availability and will host upcoming workshops to explain the application process.

The calendar for grant application openings is:

  • Convenience center grants, used automotive oil grants – June 1 through June 30 at 4:30 p.m., EST.
  • Recycling equipment grants, household hazardous waste grants, recycling rebates – September 1 through September 30 at 4:30 p.m., EST.

All grant applications are submitted online via the department’s Grants Management System.
