The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Recycling Grant

After applying in October, I was excited to hear that the grant application written by myself and 2 faculty members was accepted as 1 of the 25 recipients for the ADEQ Recycling Grant. This grant will be used to further enhance my school's recycling program and increase recycling awareness among both faculty members and students. The $200 in fundingwill enable the purchase of 2 large, four-segment (aluminum cans, plastic bottles, paper, and regular trash) recycling bins, in addition to educational materials that will increase the familiarity of exactly which items are recyclable.
