SWACO has become a catalyst for
recycling and reuse programs within its district, and continues to
pioneer with leading edge programs that find new uses for the solid
waste of the past, present and future.
2008 SWACO General Grant
The General Grant Program was created to provide additional funding for projects specifically related to SWACO’s mission of managing the District municipal solid waste stream in an effort to achieve environmentally responsible and cost-effective disposal, reduce reliance on landfilling through waste reduction and recycling, treat solid waste as a resource capable of yielding recovered materials and energy, and plan future disposal capacity for the District.
Buy Recycled/Smart Communities Grant
The purpose of the Buy
Recycled/Smart Communities grant is to provide additional funding for
the purchase of recycled content products, materials and/or equipment
and to assist local governments, that have been qualified as SWACO
Smart Communities, with promoting and enhancing their waste reduction,
anti-littering and recycling programs.
