Need help cleaning up tires? State funds still up for grabs to benefit area organizations
February 9, 2010
Ohio communities, schools and businesses are encouraged to apply for the 2010 Tire Amnesty Grant program, which supports targeted scrap tire collection drives, drop-off efforts and local tire clean-ups, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Coordinated by ODNR's Division of Recycling Litter Prevention, the provides assistance to local governments, businesses, schools, health districts and other non-profit entities to establish tire amnesty activities.
Tire amnesty collections allow local residents to bring a limited number of tires to a drop-off site free of charge. Collected tires must be used as feedstock for a viable and technologically proven end-use market. Acceptable scrap tires include passenger, light truck, semi-truck and agricultural tires.
Applicants may represent multiple entities and may address more than one market for scrap tires. Grant funding is dependent upon the number of tires recovered to a maximum of $20,000.
The 2010 application form and all grant program criteria may be found at ohiodnr.com/recycling. The deadline to apply is April 5. Awards will be announced in May.
