The EPF allows the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to provide MWRR funding to local governments for waste reduction and recycling projects. The overall goal of this funding program is to assist municipalities in expanding local waste reduction and recycling programs, and increase participation in those programs. The MWRR State assistance program can help fund the costs of:
• Capital Investment in Facilities and Equipment
• Recycling Education/Promotion/Outreach and Coordination
• Waste Reduction Capital or Education Costs
The 2018/19 Budget included a $ 2,000,000 fund specifically for food scraps reduction, food donation, and food scraps recycling activities. The funding is available for food rescue organizations and municipalities. This grant program is being issued in conjunction with a similar $800,000 program for food rescue organizations. The total amount available for both programs is $2,000,000. If one program has excess funds after the funding time frame, those funds may be transferred to
the other program.
Eligible projects are expected to enhance the reduction, recovery, and/or recycling programs of municipalities with relation to food waste. Waste reduction capital or education can include the capital, planning and promotional costs of waste reduction projects undertaken to reduce the volume or toxicity of material entering the Municipal Solid Waste stream, by reducing the volume or toxicity of material at the point of generation. Food recovery projects eliminate the wasting of wholesome, edible food and/or make food available to those in need. Recycling equipment includes structures, machinery, or devices providing for the environmentally sound recovery of recyclables
including source separation equipment and recyclables recovery equipment. Recycling education and coordination promotes and encourages participation in local recycling programs.
