Grants and Financial Assistance

The Solid Waste and Financial Assistance Program administers four programs that provide financial assistance to local governments and non-profit organizations.

Community Litter Cleanup Program

Community Litter Cleanup Program provides money to local governments to clean up litter and illegal dumps, as well as educate the public on the consequences of littering. This is not a grant or loan program. It is a contracted funding program to provide money to communities through interagency agreements. The contracts are awarded once each biennium. The application period for both CLCP and Tools & Trucks is December 1, 2006, through January 15, 2007.

Coordinated Prevention Grant Program

The Coordinated Prevention Grant Program helps local governments to develop and implement their hazardous and solid waste management plans. These grants are awarded once each biennium. A new 2006-07 Coordinated Prevention Grant cycle begins on January 1, 2006. Ecology will award CPG grants in two cycles: the regular cycle and the off-set cycle. The regular cycle is for grants in effect from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2007. The off-set cycle is for grants in effect from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2008. Off-set cycle grants remain part of the 2006-2007 allocation.

Remedial Action Grants and Loans

Remedial Action Grants and Loans are designed to help local governments clean up contaminated sites. They are awarded on an on-going basis throughout the biennium.

Public Participation Grants

Public Participation Grants provide funding to citizen groups and not-for-profit public interest organizations to provide public involvement in monitoring the cleanup of contaminated sites and prevent pollution by reducing or eliminating waste at the source. An application period is opened every two years. Please check for exact dates.
