Description
The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services’ Office of Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling administers this annual grant program for local governments and regions. It funds general recycling and waste reduction projects that can demonstrate a positive impact on progress toward local recycling and waste reduction goals.
The program supports practical projects tied to locally identified needs rather than a single prescribed activity. It is funded by a $2 retail fee on appliances and lead-acid batteries.
