Warren, OH – The Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District (SWMD) is pleased to announce a 2nd round of Go Green Community Grant applications! We are now accepting applications to support recycling and litter prevention programs through Go Green Community Grants. These grants are offered to local government (townships, cities, villages, counties), schools, and nonprofit organizations to initiate or expand recycling, to purchase recycling or waste containers, to purchase items made from recycled content materials, to perform cleanup activities, or to conduct an approved demonstration project.
Applicants can receive up to $2,500 for their project. The Go Green Community Grant has NO match requirement. The Go Green Community Grant is competitive. The District provides a specified amount of money in the budget each year for all funding requests, so not all applicants will be awarded.
Applications will be reviewed by a committee who will make award recommendations to the Board of Directors. Applications must be received via email or mail to the District office by Friday, June 25, 2021. You can find the grant application on our website at www.gottagogreen.org. Examples of potential projects are also listed on our website.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at (330) 675-2673 or 800-707-2673
