LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan officials say they're stepping up financial support for recycling infrastructure projects.
The state Department of Environmental Quality says it's boosting available funding for grants from $500,000 to $3.7 million and is extending the deadline for applications to May 1.
The DEQ originally announced the grant opportunity last November in support of the state's goals of increasing the recycling rate and ensuring convenient recycling access by supporting development of infrastructure for the purpose.
Local and tribal government agencies, nonprofits, school districts, colleges and regional planning agencies are among those eligible to seek funding of up to $1 million.
Application information is available online .
