The Raleigh, North Carolina-based Recycling Business Assistance Center (RBAC) is encouraging companies doing business in North Carolina to apply for a grant if they are “a recycling business seeking to increase or expand [their] recovery efforts.“
The RBAC is operated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and its Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service (DEACS).
Grant proposals are due by 5 p.m. eastern time Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2016, according to RBAC.
Previous grant winners are eligible to apply for 2017 grant funding under the following conditions, the group says:
- if the previous project has been completed and the contract is closed; or
- if the grantee has requested reimbursement for at least 90 percent of the grant award by Oct. 18, 2016.
The maximum grant award in this round is $40,000, while the minimum cash match that can be made by companies is 50 percent of the total of the grant award. The RBAC says $500,000 in total grant funds are available
