Now Available Through 4R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot – Compost) Grants Program

Do you want to create a recycling and composting curriculum for your classroom, or host a community swap event in your neighborhood to promote second hand use of functional items? Do you have a great idea about how to reduce plastic straws or water bottles in schools throughout San Mateo County?

The County of San Mateo’s Office of Sustainability (OOS) can help you with that! The OOS’ 4R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot – Compost) Grants Program offers two tiers of funding:

(1) the Mega Grant (up to $25,000) and
(2) the Mini Grants ($1,000 to $5,000).

The purpose of the grants is to help eligible entities (nonprofits, educational institutions, or government agencies) create, implement, and expand programs that promote reuse, waste reduction, recycling, composting or education about these environmental issues in San Mateo County.

The application deadline is Monday, February 4, 2019 @ 6pm.
