2009 Recycling Business Development Grant Winners

The N.C. Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance awarded 29 Recycling Business Development Grants, totaling $600,000.

For the 2009 grant round, landfill ban criteria was included to give some weight to proposals that supported developing infrastructure in response to legislation taking effect in 2009. Items included in the landfill bans are wooden pallets, rigid plastic containers and oil filters. Weight was also given to projects that addressed additional legislation that took effect in 2008 requiring ABC permit holders to recycle.

The grants ranged from $4,000 to $40,000, and if all the projects are successful, will create more than 86,000 tons of additional recycling capacity in North Carolina. Overall, DPPEA received 56 proposals requesting $1.94 million in funds. Selected projects include:
