The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is accepting applications through the end of February from local and tribal governments and other entities through its solid waste management grants program. The program offers grants annually in six categories: environmental officers, equipment, collection events, food waste management projects, sharps, and professional services/other. Grants typically range from $1,000-$50,000.
Funding for the program comes from solid waste disposal fees and fees collected under the Oklahoma Computer Equipment Recovery Act. See this story map that helps demonstrate the impact of the program.
