2009 REAP Recycling Grants Awarded by Governor Manchin 

There were 35 individual applicants approved for amounts totaling more than $1.4 million.  The grants were awarded to state solid waste authorities, county commissions, municipalities, private industries and nonprofit organizations. 

“Over the years, these grants have helped bring awareness of the importance of recycling to West Virginians of all ages,” Governor Manchin said at the award ceremony. “Right now, the market for recyclable materials is down, but regardless of the selling price the need for recycling and the role it plays in the betterment of our state doesn’t change.”

Funding for the recycling assistance program is generated through $1 assessment fee per ton of solid waste disposed of at in-state landfills and is provided by WV Code 22-15A-19(h) (1).
