District Grants
NM Solid Waste Management District – Region B was formed in 1992 in conjunction with Senate Bill 530, which created 20 Solid Waste Districts in Missouri. Region B is the largest District consisting of 11 counties in north central Missouri including Caldwell, Carroll, Chariton, Daviess, Grundy, Harrison, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Putnam, and Sullivan. There are 75 communities in our 11-county district.
The purpose of the District Grant program is to provide financial assistance to cities, counties, non-profits and other organizations that will develop new or improved programs that will reduce the generation of solid waste or will create new markets or improve markets for recovered material or will improve the handling of items banned from landfills by Missouri law. It is the intent that these funds are awarded to sub-grantees for projects that will be sustainable and will lead to long term diversion. The purpose of the solid waste management districts is to fund projects with maximum impact on waste minimization and to create and sustain jobs directly related to the project.
Applications are available on this site by pressing the application link. If you need assistance, Ann Hamilton, NMSWMD Program Manager and District Planner for Region B, works with sub-grantees on their application, tasks, timelines, and goals. If you need assistance on grant applications, please contact her at ann@ghrpc.org or 660-359-5636 ext. 24
