Dear Recycling Friends,
The New Mexico Recycling Coalition is pleased to announce a grant opportunity to fund equipment to either improve an existing recycling processing facility "hub" or to purchase recycling collection equipment to outfit "spokes" in New Mexico. The Rural Recycling Development Program has been designed to increase access to recycling for underserved and rural communities. This project, hosted by NMRC, is part of the Department of Energy American Recovery and Stimulus Act under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program.
This grant is a follow-up to earlier NMRC grant-funding that allowed for the creation of three new recycling hubs and 30+ new spoke collection sites. The recycling center improvement aspect of this grant RFP is designed to assist existing recycling processing facilities to expand or update their equipment to better serve their region. Monies are also available for hubs and spoke communities to apply for recycling collection equipment.
Please find complete instructions and application attached. (Please Click Here For Applications & Instructions www.recyclenewmexico.com/rural_recycling.htm) The deadline to apply electronically is November 30, 2011 by 5:00 PM MST.
Sorry for any cross-postings!
Best,
English Bird, Executive Director
