CAPCOG has issued a call for solid waste projects to local governments in the 10-county region that seeks to fund about $60,000 worth of equipment or community collection events. The deadline to apply for the solid waste funding is June 16, 2023; applications should request between $10,000 and $25,000 per project and will need to be spent before the end of the biennium.
Every biennium, CAPCOG seeks to maximize the effectiveness of the region’s solid waste funding from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality by allocating as much as possible to local projects that support CAPCOG’s Regional Solid Waste Management Plan. This call for projects funding opportunity will spend savings realized from organizational changes to the CAPCOG Solid Waste Program and unspent funds from previously awarded solid waste projects completed under budget. Previous projects funded during the biennium included collection events in Llano, Lee, and Caldwell counties as well as Granite Shoals and Creedmoor; and household hazardous waste collections events in Burnet and Blanco counties as well as Buda. Other projects included improvements to collection stations in Fayette County and Pflugerville and purchasing equipment for Blanco County.
