Introduction
The San Luis Obispo County Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) has established a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) Program. The TAGs can be awarded to businesses, government agencies, nonprofit groups, and institutions that want to promote, start and/or expand waste reduction and landfill diversion efforts.
Grant Goals
The TAG Program is designed to empower local groups/change agents to develop community-based strategies for the prevention, separation, diversion, recycling, and composting of material. Applicants typically act as a catalyst for reducing waste, promoting zero waste strategies, demonstrate circular economy practices in order to eliminated waste and maximize material resources. Applicants should increase community awareness about the negative health effects of improper waste disposal and promote best management practices/alternatives.
