HHW grants home page for information about the next grant
cycle.
The Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) grants are available to help local
governments establish or expand HHW collection programs. These grants are
awarded on a competitive basis.
Funding
If approved as part of the fiscal year 2005/2006 Budget Act, four million five
hundred thousand dollars ($4.5 million) in grant funds may be available for this
grant cycle, with $200,000 set aside for one project that would develop a
Recycled Paint Certification System. Individual jurisdictions may request up to
$200,000 and regional groups (two or more cities/counties) may request up to
$300,000. The grant term is from approximately August 2005 through March 2008.
Grant expenses may not be incurred until grantees receive the Notice to Proceed.
Eligibility
California cities, counties, and local agencies, including Indian
reservations and rancherias, with direct responsibility for HHW management
(jurisdiction). Commercial businesses and nonprofit groups are not eligible to
apply for this grant, but may partner with a local jurisdiction on the delivery
of program services.
Each applicant may submit one application for a local/regional HHW project,
and one application for the Recycled Paint Certification System Project.
Depending upon the final ranking of scores, it would be possible for the same
applicant to receive two grant awards for this cycle ONLY IF one of the projects
was a Recycled Paint Certification System Project.
