The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) administers a program to provide opportunities for collection and management of household hazardous waste (HHW). As part of this program, the CIWMB issues grants to help local governments establish or expand HHW collection programs. These grants are awarded on a competitive basis.

Funding
Approximately $3.0 million in grant funds will be available for fiscal year (FY) 2002/03 HHW grants. Individual jurisdictions may request up to $150,000 and regional groups (two or more cities/counties) may request up to $300,000. The grant term is from September 1, 2002 through March 31, 2005.

Eligibility
All local governments in California with direct responsibility for HHW management may apply for funding. Applicants must submit a proposal and resolution following instructions in the application package. The resolution from the applicant's governing body must authorize the jurisdiction to submit the application.

Priorities--FY 2002/03 HHW Grants
