(Madison) The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is now accepting applications for the E-Cycle Wisconsin Electronics Collection Grant for projects hosting an electronics collection site or event between September 2024 and December 2025.
Financial support for additional collection sites and events will make it easier for residents in those areas to recycle unwanted electronics. The DNR will give priority to projects in counties that do not have a permanent collection site open to all residents registered under E-Cycle Wisconsin.
This includes projects in Calumet, Crawford, Florence, Green Lake, and Iowa counties, just to name a few. The department will award up to $100,000 in grants to businesses, local and tribal governmental bodies for this round with the max of $5,000 per collection event and $10,000 per permanent collection site.
In 2022 and 2023, the DNR awarded more than $135,000 to 29 projects in 18 counties, mostly rural areas. The department says their first two rounds of grants were successful and are excited to help more rural communities offer collections to their residents. Applications are due at 5pm on July 31, 2024.
