Mini-Grant Program

Program History
The CCCSWA sponsors a wide variety of programs in the areas of waste prevention, recycling, composting, offers technical assistance and provides public information and education to its residents and businesses.

In 1999, the CCCSWA developed the mini-grant program to complement its current and planned activities to aid its member agencies in achieving the State-mandated 50% landfill diversion goal by the year 2000 and beyond.

Application Process
The CCCSWA seeks innovative projects that will increase individual and community involvement in waste prevention efforts, decrease the amount of waste sent to landfills, and encourage the development, marketing and use of recycled products in the CCCSWA service area (for a service area map, please go to www.wastediversion.org/service.htm). The CCCSWA allocates $50,000 each fiscal year for the Mini-grant Program and grants individual awards ranging from $250 to $10,000.

The application process occurs once a year, unfortunately for FY 2008, we did not receive funding for this program.
