The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) administers a tire
grant program to provide opportunities to divert waste tires from landfill
disposal, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content
tire products.
Funding
It is anticipated that $500,000 will be available for this grant program.
Award of the FY 2001/2002 Local Government Public Education and Amnesty Day
Grants is contingent upon and subject to the availability of funds appropriated
for the grant. Eligible applicants may request up to $20,000. The Board reserves
the right to fund individual phases of selected proposals, and may therefore
fund an amount less than $20,000. The CIWMB will award grants on a competitive
basis.
Applicant Eligibility
Local government: California cities, counties, special districts, joint powers
agencies or political subdivisions thereof, and federally recognized California
Indian tribes are eligible to apply for this grant.
Jurisdictions and their subdivisions may submit one application only.
Eligible Projects
Grant funds are available for local governments to develop education programs on
the requirements for proper tire disposal and on ways to properly care for
tires. The education may be in the form of brochures or other print or
electronic means of sharing waste-tire information. The education program may
also include information on recycled-content waste tire products and health and
safety and environmental issues of waste tires. The program also includes
amnesty event(s) aimed at the consumer to deal with nuisance tires and small
tire pile cleanups. Applicants are encouraged to enter into partnerships with
local businesses, Local Conservation Corps, or other entities to maximize the
scope of the program.
Matching Fund Requirement
All applicants are required to provide minimum matching funds equaling 50
percent of the grant amount requested.
