Indiana to offer grants for recycling businesses

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana will release a chunk of grant money to help recycling
businesses.
The
Recycling Market Development Program will give out $500,000 to help
companies buy equipment for business recycling projects that reduce
solid waste disposal and increase Indiana’s ability to make and use
recycled materials.
The program generated the money for the grants from a per-ton fee on solid waste
disposal at Indiana landfills.
Indiana
Environmental Management Commissioner Thomas Easterly says providing
the grants to recycling businesses makes sense for both the environment
and the economy.
Businesses have until June 11 to apply for the
grants. The program will give out the money in August. The grants will
range from $25,000 to $200,000 with a required 50 percent match.
To apply, call 800-451-6027 or visit www.recycle.IN.gov/5745.htm.
