(KLZA)-- The Northwest Missouri Solid Waste Management District has grant funds available from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Management Program to distribute to both public and private entities throughout Atchison, Gentry, Holt, Nodaway, and Worth Counties.

The grant funds are intended to reduce the amount of waste entering the local waste stream and facilitate recycling. Examples of past projects include can crushers, aluminum and cardboard balers, forklifts, recycling trailers, recycling bins, and park benches made of recycled materials.

Grant funds have also been used for outdoor classrooms, recycling education, rubberized track, recycling business expansion and structures, and machinery to facilitate composting on a large scale.

The application and guidance document will be available February 1, 2024, at www.nwmorcog.org. Individuals or entities interested in applying for funds for a waste reduction or recycling project may contact Kirk Kopper via phone at 660-582-5121 ext. 4; or via email at solid@nwmorcog.org.
