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. Some examples of projects include the purchase of can crushers, recycling trailers, aluminum and cardboard balers, forklifts, recycling bins, composting and other organic recycling projects. Grant funds have also been used for outdoor classrooms, recycling education, rubberized track, and recycling business expansion.
The application will be posted online at www.nwmorcog.org, along with the Grant Evaluation Criteria and Application Guidance by February 1, 2023. Individuals or entities interested in applying for funds for a waste reduction or recycling project may contact Jerri Dearmont via phone at (660) 582-5121 ext. 7; or via email at jerri@nwmorcog.org. Applications must be received by Monday, April 3, 2023, by 3 p.m. at the Northwest Missouri Regional Council of Governments office located at 114 W. Third Street in Maryville.
