Recycling Incentives
Incentives for Purchasing and Using Recycled Waste Tire Products in Public Projects
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the department) requests applications for grant projects that will be awarded from the Colorado Waste Tire Program. The Colorado General Assembly passed legislation in 2010 (HB 10-1018), 25-17-202.6, C.R.S., concerning tire recycling and re-use programs. The purpose of this program is to encourage the beneficial reuse and recycling of Colorado waste tires. The legislation authorizes funds be made available to counties, municipalities, special districts (including school districts), and state agencies, as a financial incentive to purchase tire-derived products containing processed Colorado waste tires on a reimbursement basis.
Awards will be available for 100% of the cost of the tire-derived product only, capped at $50,000 per award. |
