SUMMARY OF GRANT REQUIREMENTS: This grant program from Hennepin County was created to fund projects that start or improve solid waste prevention in the business and nonprofit sectors. Areas of focus can include preventing food from going to waste, reuse and recovery of goods and materials, replacing disposables with reusables. Solid waste is defined as non-hazardous, municipal solid waste, which includes trash, mixed recyclables (including paper, glass, plastics, metals, cartons) and organics. Any project that prevents, reduces, or reuses waste (trash, recycling and organics) may be eligible.
