Eligible projects should focus on education and promotion of recycling, processing of recyclable materials, waste reduction, HHW, or organics management, and applicants must demonstrate a direct or indirect increase in waste diversion because of the project.

The CRGP is accepting applications from July 1st through August 8th, 2025.
