Boulder County Resource Conservation Division offers funding for zero waste programs

"The Boulder County Resource Conservation Division is allocating $50,000 for its 2019 Zero Waste Funding Program," states a press release from Boulder County.

Funding for the Zero Waste Funding Program was established in 1997 and has since awarded more than one million dollars for "education and infrastructure initiatives that promote waste reduction and diversion from the landfill."

"Zero Waste Funding provides an opportunity for businesses and organizations within our community to contribute to Boulder County’s vision of becoming a zero waste community," states the press release.

This year Boulder County is looking at programs that emphasize resource diversion, however, applications with other focuses will be considered as well.

Businesses, residents and government buildings are encouraged to apply. Applications are accepted now through October 5 by 2 p.m.
