Solid Waste

Kentucky offers solid waste recycling grants

Kentucky cities can receive a share of approximately $58 million in grant funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Environmental Protection Agency anticipates awarding 20 to 30 assistance agreements with at least one award in each EPA region. The minimum award amount is $500,000, and the maximum individual award is $5 million per grant period.

Applicants must achieve at least one of the following objectives:

  • Establish, increase, expand, or optimize collection and improve materials management infrastructure.
  • Fund the creation and construction of tangible infrastructure, technology, or other improvements to reduce contamination in the recycled materials stream.
  • Establish, increase, expand, or optimize capacity for materials management.
  • Establish, improve, expand, or optimize end markets for recycled commodities.
  • Demonstrate a significant and measurable increase in the diversion, recycling rate, and quality of materials collected for municipal solid waste.

Applications are due December 20, 2024, and must be submitted through grants.gov.
