Solid Waste Alternatives Grant forms
Solid Waste Alternatives Grants
The Solid Waste Alternatives Grant program is designed to assist municipalities and non-profit organizations with their county-wide efforts for initiation and enhancement of resource recovery programs. Specific information regarding the grant program follows.
Funding availability is based exclusively on the Eaton County Solid Waste Ordinance Recycling Surcharge. No guarantees are expressed or implied beyond the Ordinance's capability to produce grant funds. Please note that resources are limited and not all grant applications may receive funding.
Quarterly reports from grantees must be complete and include a detailed report of proposed project goals with budget, projected recycling and/or composting totals for the project, and demonstrate efficient and effective use of funds.
Note - Operational expenses for pre-existing programs (i.e. - public works leaf collections, Christmas tree pick-ups, etc.) are not given consideration under the Eaton County Solid Waste Alternatives Grant Program.
Reimbursement Procedures
Grantees will submit forms for reimbursement of funds quarterly, at a minimum. This does not preclude grantees from requesting reimbursement on an as-needed basis within each quarter. The Department will provide a financial report form for documentation of project expenses that fall into the line items originally set forth in the grant agreement. After review and approval of the documentation, funds will be disbursed.
Reporting Requirements
A Summary of Project Accomplishments form and Materials Recovery Sheet must be completed by the grantee on a quarterly basis. Year-To-Date updates are acceptable when submitting the Materials Recovery Sheet, but they must be prepared within the designated time frame. Failure to submit these forms in a timely manner during the reporting period will lead to a suspension of grant funds.
