NSRA Recycling Equipment Grants Available

Nebraska State Recycling Association (NSRA; recyclenebraska.org) still has grant funds available from the 2016-17 grant cycle for municipalities, other government entities, nonprofits and recycling companies needing to purchase recycling equipment. Interested parties should visit www.recyclenebraska.org and call or email Julie Diegel at (402) 202-0755 or jdiegel@recyclenebraska.org.

Grants can help fund the purchase of recycling trailers, semi-trailers, carts, dumpsters, balers, lift-gates, forklifts, trucks and more. Equipment may be new, used or in need of refurbishing. In some cases, an applicant’s existing equipment can be refurbished with this grant. Grants will be awarded until the funds are depleted. Grant applications are due by the 15th of each month. This grant is one of 118 grants that will receive $18.8 million in grant awards from the Nebraska Environmental Trust, which are funded by proceeds from the Nebraska Lottery.
