The Business Equipment Grant funds projects that divert materials from the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill by supporting new or expanded waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, food donation, and diversion education initiatives. Funded activities include purchasing equipment such as cardboard balers and recycling compactors that directly reduce landfill waste. Projects should focus on central Ohio's waste needs, emphasize partnerships, and leverage the waste stream to benefit the community.
Projects must be located within SWACO's jurisdiction in Franklin County, Ohio. Eligible applicants are those conducting waste reduction and diversion projects in this area.
