Pennsylvania’s Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen McGinty announced more than $3.8 million in recycling performance grants to 158 Pennsylvania communities for their recycling efforts in 2003.
"These grants reward Pennsylvania communities for making a real environmental impact and for contributing to the state's economy," Secretary McGinty said. "Recycling protects resources, helps to keep our lands and waters clean, and creates jobs in Pennsylvania."
Performance grants are financed by the Recycling Fund, which is supported by a $2 per ton fee on all materials disposed of at municipal waste landfills and resource recovery facilities in Pennsylvania.
The 158 grants and the 237 grants announced Feb. 3 represent the initial groups approved from nearly 800 applications that DEP received by the Sept. 30, 2004, filing deadline. Additional awards will be made as the remaining applications are processed.
