Mike Linder, director of Nebraska’s Department of Environmental Quality, has announced the awarding of $1,890,250 for 67 grants for litter cleanup, recycling, and public education programs and activities in the state. Funds for the Litter Reduction and Recycling Grant Program are generated from a fee charged to certain manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of products that commonly contribute to litter. “Once again, the department received applications from many outstanding projects from across the state,” Linder says. “Local programs and communities are essential to the state’s efforts to promote litter reduction and recycling.” More information on what the grants will be used for is available by clicking here: Grant Recipients.
