Bartholomew County Solid Waste Management District has received a $29,463 grand from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management from its Community Recycling Grant Program.
The grants are available to counties, cities, solid waste management districts, schools and nonprofits to encourage recycling at the local level.
Money for the grants comes from the solid waste management fee collected by the state of 50 cents per ton on solid waste for final disposal at Indiana landfills. None of the money comes from tax dollars.
