KDHE Announces Recipients of Solid Waste Grants
Kansas Ag Connection - 05/06/2016
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment's (KDHE) Bureau of Waste Management has announced the recipients of the Green Schools grants. These annual solid waste grants are awarded to school districts across the state. This year, they totaled
more than $130,000.
Thirty-seven Kansas schools were awarded Green Schools grants from the KDHE's Bureau of Waste Management, with awards ranging from $712 to $4,500. The grants this year totaled $130,970.28. These grants will fund projects to take place during the
2016-2017 school year and will result in activities like purchasing recycling bins, starting compost programs for cafeteria waste and taking field trips to community recycling centers. This marks the ninth round of Waste Management Green Schools grants, which
are funded by a $1 per ton state landfill fee.
For more information on KDHE's waste reduction grant opportunities and application procedures, contact the Bureau of Waste Management at 785-296-1600, or visit www.kdheks.gov/waste. If you are interested in learning more about Kansas Green
