The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) announced the availability of grant funding for recycling and household hazardous waste (HHW) collection and disposal from the agency’s Community Recycling Grant Program (CRGP).
“Through the Community Recycling Grant Program, we are empowering local governments, schools, and organizations to expand recycling, reduce waste, and promote environmental stewardship," said IDEM Commissioner Clint Woods. "These grants are an investment in innovative solutions that help protect our environment and improve quality of life for Hoosiers across the state.”
Indiana counties, municipalities, solid waste management districts, universities, schools, and nonprofit organizations are eligible to submit a CRGP application requesting $1,000–$100,000 in funding.
The CRGP is accepting applications from to August 8.
Eligible projects should focus on education and promotion of recycling, processing of recyclable materials, waste reduction, HHW, or organics management.
Additional information is available online at on.IN.gov/crgp. Potential applicants can call 800-451-6027 or email crgp@idem.IN.gov for assistance. Final funding determinations will be made in late December 2025.
The Community Recycling Grant Program is funded through IDEM’s Solid Waste Management Fund. Grant funding is intended to create successful, cost-effective and sustainable programs. Applicants must demonstrate a direct or indirect increase in waste diversion because of the project.
