MDEQ Announces Recycling Funding Opportunity
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has recently announced a funding opportunity through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) which was funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). A total of $600,000 has been allocated from the EECBG by the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) and administered by MDEQ. For more information on these funding opportunities, please see the MDEQ Solid Waste webpage.
The Mississippi Recycling Coalition (MRC) is a non-profit organization that was established in 1997. Our members educate the public about the increasing importance and needs of waste reduction and recycling, advise government about solid waste reduction issues and management, develop new markets for recyclable materials, collect and process recyclables and remanufacture them into useful products, and shape public policy on recycling and solid waste reduction. The MRC has representatives on its board of directors and advisory committee that oversee almost all aspects of solid waste management in the state. The board of directors consist of 17 elected people from across the state that represent government, private industry, institutions, and non-profit organizations. These members can guide, assist, and answer your questions. The MRC is committed to assisting members in improving their skills and techniques in recycling through education, workshops, special studies, research, and the exchange of ideas and technical knowledge. MRC has also pledged to educate the general public, members of government, and the business community about the economic and environmental significance of waste reduction, recycling, and composting.
