District grants
The District Grant program provides financial assistance to cities, counties, nonprofits and other organizations for projects that reduce the generation of solid waste, create or improve markets for recovered material, or improve the handling of items banned from landfills by Missouri law. Funds are intended for projects that are sustainable and lead to long-term diversion.
District Grant Application
Ann Hamilton, NMSWMD Program Manager and District Planner for Region B, works with sub-grantees on their application, tasks, timelines and goals.

Goals for FY2023
The District published nine waste-reduction goals. Among them: education on what belongs in recycling bins; a detailed list of every recycling center and what each one collects; special access for residents to tire, electronics, appliance, battery and household hazardous waste collection events, with funding sought for semi-permanent sites in different counties; continued diversion of target-list items including glass; promoting recycling at the State Fair; helping schools and businesses across the eleven counties start small and expand their recycling; a new District website; and work with Ripple Glass to establish glass recycling in Region B.
Glass in Chillicothe. The District is working with partners to start a glass recycling project in Chillicothe. Glass will be collected and transported by Ripple Glass in Kansas City; the recycled product is used to make insulation and bottles.
