This grant is for funding projects aimed at significantly reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions through enhanced consumer recycling education and outreach. Specifically, the Recycling Education and Outreach (REO) Grant Program seeks proposals that will effectively decrease wasted food from households, thereby minimizing landfill contributions. A key objective is to expand markets for and increase sales of compost, fostering sustainable waste management practices. Furthermore, the grant will support initiatives to inform the public about new or existing residential food waste composting programs, detailing accepted materials and promoting correct participation. The ultimate goal is to boost collection rates and substantially decrease physical contamination within residential food waste composting streams, driving comprehensive improvements in community recycling efforts and environmental sustainability.
