Waynesville council approves applying for DEQ recycling grant to place downtown receptacles
Summary
The council authorized staff to apply for a DEQ recycling grant for approximately $30,000 to install about 30 recycling receptacles in Hazelwood and Frog Level, agreeing to provide the required 20% local match if awarded.
Councilmember John (last name not specified in transcript) presented a proposal to apply for a North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) recycling grant to install roughly 30 recycling receptacles in downtown areas including Hazelwood and Frog Level. Project scoping included purchase of bins, decals, and education materials, with a project cost estimated near $30,000 and a required town match of 20% (about $6,000).
The council moved to authorize submission of the grant application and to provide the local match if the grant is awarded; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff indicated the grant application would be submitted before the Friday deadline and that matching logistics would be coordinated through staff.
What comes next: staff will finalize the application materials (including a decal/flyer showing receptacle markings) and submit the application before the grant deadline; if awarded, staff will return with implementation details and budget adjustments.
