Recycling Grant for Clean-Up Days

Approve sub-grant program participation and funding.

Approve as requested.

Scott County offers an annual sub-grant for recycling through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Environmental Assistance Local Recycling Development Grant (LRDG).

Cities and townships who provide a clean-up event for their residents are eligible to participate. The amount of funding is based on demonstrated need and population. Shakopee has participated in this program for at least 24 years.

Upon approving the subgrant participation and funding, two copies of a "Recycling Program Agreement" will follow, each requiring execution.  Last year's agreement is attached for reference.

Funding in the amount of $10,544.51 is available to Shakopee to assist with its April 27, 2019 Clean-Up Day event expenses. This amount includes $688.88 for Louisville and Jackson Township residents participation in the event, as well as an additional $500.00 for paper shredding.

Additional funding in the amount of $9,355.63 is available for a fall clean-up event.
