Organizational Waste Reduction and Reuse Program (OWRRP)

The Organizational Waste Reduction & Reuse Program aspires to play a part in promoting innovative and sustainable solutions to problems in our current waste system. The OWRRP supports businesses, community and youth groups, institutions, and non-profits that take the initiative to stimulate and expand opportunities to practice waste reduction, reuse and additional recycling.  The OWRRP provides seed money for waste reduction and reuse education, business development, technical assistance, and community projects throughout the District.
 
For more information about the grant program, types of projects that can be funded, or to find out if your organization is eligible, please contact Theron Lay-Sleeper at (802) 229-9383 ext. 110 or grantprograms@cvswmd.org.
 
This grant program has been adapted from the Lawrence Walbridge Reuse Fund.
