kind services.
BACKGROUND:
This grant opportunity is with the North Central Texas Council of Governments and is for
an educational program for industrial organic recycling. If the grant is approved, surveys
will be taken of the regional compost facilities and their capacities. In addition, the
survey will address industries and their opportunities for organic recycling in order to
reduce their waste volume. The ultimate goal of the program is to introduce the waste
generators to the waste processors and vice versa.
The total amount of the grant is $24,000 and the budget includes funds to do the
following:
• survey existing compost facilities,
• design an organic waste audit survey,
• host two classes for industry, government and agriculture,
• perform 16 waste audits of commercial generators,
• refer organic waste stream generators to local processors, and
• make recommendations for the best management practice for sustainable
management.
There are no matching funds required for this grant. The City's match will be provided
through in-kind services. The $24,000 budget will be used to purchase equipment and
labor to complete the tasks above.
