Waste Tire Program
Incentives for Purchasing and Using Recycled Waste Tire Products in Public Projects
*Grant Announcement*
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment requests applications for grant projects that will be awarded from the Colorado Waste Tire Program. The Colorado General Assembly passed legislation in 2010 (HB 10-1018), 25-17-202.6, C.R.S., concerning tire recycling and re-use programs. The purpose of this program is to encourage the beneficial reuse and recycling of Colorado waste tires. The legislation authorizes funds be made available to counties, municipalities, special districts (including school districts), and state agencies, as a financial incentive to purchase products containing recycled or reused Colorado waste tires on a reimbursement basis.
Approximately $500,000 is expected to be available in fiscal year 2013 to fund multiple projects. Awards will be available for 100% of the cost of the Colorado-generated waste tire product only, capped at $50,000 per award.
