WHEELED RECYCLING CARTS- CHANGES IN FY08

Wheeled recycling carts are being offered through a technical assistance grant for NEW multi-family or municipally sponsored business recycling programs ONLY. Please see the section on technical assistance for further information. Wheeled carts are still available for purchase by municipalities and state agencies, through State Contract FAC 31.

CONSUMER EDUCATION MATERIALS

Customized consumer education materials are available in MassDEP’s format, to promote curbside or drop-off recycling programs. Grantees will provide MassDEP with specific information about its recycling program that will be used to design your education materials using MassDEP’s format. MassDEP’s vendor will print and mail these educational materials directly to the grantees’ residents. In addition each grantee is provided with a PDF file of its artwork for posting on the municipal web site. At the time of printing, municipalities wishing to print additional copies may do so through arrangements with the vendor, and at the municipality’s cost.

Standardized educational materials are available for promoting waste reduction and composting as described below. Municipalities will be responsible for distributing these materials to their residents. MassDEP will deliver all standardized materials to your municipal offices for distribution.

Waste Reduction bookmark- This bookmark outlines ways in which individuals can reduce the amount of waste they generate. Its size (2 ½” x 9”) allows for it to be distributed to residents as part of another mailing.

Junk Mail Reduction Kits- This kit contains information on how to reduce the flow of junk mail to residents, including postcards that residents can mail to have their name removed from mailing lists. MassDEP will provide kits for up to 10% of municipality’s households. Additional kits may be purchased from the printer.

Multi-family recycling door hangers- are available for distribution to building owners/property managers and are designed to enable users to add additional information specific to a building’s or community’s recycling program. A Springfield MRF version and a Spanish version of the door hangers are also available.

"Don't Trash Grass" brochures and “Home Composting” brochures promoting source reduction of yard waste and grass clippings are also available.

Municipal Waste Reduction Toolkit – This toolkit will assist recycling coordinators with promoting participation in various waste reduction programs. Examples of materials available include information on working with the media to promote programs, mandatory recycling enforcement campaign and more.

"PAY-AS-YOU-THROW" ASSISTANCE

MassDEP is offering grants to qualified municipalities that are instituting new “Pay-as-You-Throw” (PAYT) programs. Municipalities with established PAYT programs will not be eligible for grants.

Grant funds may be used to fund the costs of bags, stickers and other start-up costs of new PAYT programs as pre-approved by MassDEP. Grantees may receive up to $4/participating household for these costs. MassDEP will consider requests for both single family (up to 6 units) and multi-family housing (7+ units) programs. Awards over $20,000 may be disbursed to eligible municipalities over two fiscal years. Grants will be capped at $100,000 per municipality. Grant funding may not be used to pay for the disposal of solid waste or recyclables processing. Grantees will be required to submit quarterly reports to MassDEP during the grant period and a final report outlining program implementation and results.

Eligibility requirements: New PAYT programs must meet the following criteria:

• Grantee is required to provide a detailed implementation plan and timeline for their PAYT program and written verification that the program has been approved and budgeted for by the appropriate decision-making body (Board of Health, Board of Selectmen, Town Meeting, City Council).

• Grantees must commit to operating the PAYT program for a minimum of two years or more; at DEP’s discretion, the minimum program requirement may be larger, depending on the size of the award.

• Grantees must set a solid waste fee structure that insures that fixed costs of solid waste collection will be covered substantially by the tax base or other funding source, and variable costs are covered by bag or stickers sales.

• Grantees offering an annual allotment of bags or stickers to residents shall not exceed one bag or barrel per week/per household, nor a container in excess of 36 gallons.

• Curbside municipalities must provide weekly collection of recyclables or provide a second or larger recycling bin (capacity equal to or greater than 32 gal).

• Drop-off municipalities must adopt an ordinance or permit conditions requiring private subscription haulers to provide integrated solid waste and recycling services to their customers. (i.e., all customers receive recycling collection with trash collection.)

• A municipality proposing a multi-family PAYT program will be required to approve an ordinance requiring multi-family property owner and resident participation.

• For more information on starting a PAYT program, call Joseph Lambert at (617) 574-6875.

HOME COMPOSTING BINS – State Contract FAC 31

Two types of bins are offered, one in multiple sizes. All bins are rodent resistant, have openings to allow efficient, aerobic composting, and require simple, no-tool assembly. They differ primarily in design and capacity, ranging from 101 to 30 cubic feet. Specifications for each bin type are summarized below. Communities may choose to make one or several types of bins available to residents.

Municipal Home Composting Bin Distribution: In order to maximize bin distribution, grantees must agree to sell the bins to the public at a discount, place the revenue into a dedicated account, and continue to reorder bins until the funds are depleted or public demand is met. MassDEP expects each grantee to distribute two bins for each bin awarded. For example, a town that is granted 200 bins may sell them to residents for half price (plus tax), put the revenue in a dedicated account, and use the money to order 100 more bins. Revenue from sales of the additional bins is used to purchase 50 more bins, and so on until the fund is depleted and a total of nearly 400 bins have been sold. Please contact Ann McGovern, at (617) 292-5834 for further information.

HEALTHY LAWNS AND LANDSCAPES WORKSHOPS – CHANGES IN FY08

Healthy Lawn and Landscape Workshop grants have been removed from the grant application process. Workshops are still available to communities on limited basis. Contact Ann McGovern at 617-292-5834 to request a workshop. First consideration will be given to municipalities that have implemented or are working on municipal pesticide reduction policies. Priority will be given to communities with a track record of holding well-attended public events.

These workshops teach residents and landscapers how to manage lawns and landscapes without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The workshop consists of a 2-hour Powerpoint presentation with photos and handouts. The focus is on increasing overall health of lawns and landscapes by building healthy soil and using best management practices that reduce or eliminate the need for pesticides, fertilizers and irrigation. Participating residents will receive a “pesticide-free” lawn sign and a chance to win a compost bin as a door prize.

MassDEP provides the speaker, laptop, projector, promotional materials, handouts and “pesticide-free” lawn signs for the workshop. Workshop hosts may invite local cable producers to video the presentation for cablecasting afterwards.

Workshop hosts are expected to:

• Strive for a minimum attendance of 25; if fewer than 25 sign up, the workshop may be canceled.

• Work with local organizations such as League of Women Voters, garden clubs, pesticide awareness committees, or other civic groups with a track record of sponsoring well-attended events to help publicize the workshop or include it in an existing series of educational programs;

• Provide a municipal venue, such as a library, or work with a local nursery or garden center to host the workshop. Electricity and a screen or white wall for projecting the presentation are necessary.

• Use the sample press release and flyer template provided by MassDEP to advertise the workshop locally and take advance registration from participants to ensure the minimum attendance requirement is met;

• Provide light refreshments;

Municipal Benefits:

These workshops can:

• Help municipalities meet Federal NPDES II storm water system requirements for public education;

• Increase environmental protection and improve public health through reduced use of toxic chemicals;

• Reduce contamination of groundwater, drinking water and water bodies by pesticides and fertilizers;

• Reduce amount of organic waste requiring collection and disposal by encouraging composting;

• Help conserve water through reduced irrigation;

• Complement a municipal pesticide reduction policy or by-law.

RAIN BARREL DISCOUNTS and WATER CONSERVATION TOOLS

Rain Barrels

Two types of rain barrels are available for this program, New England Rain Barrel and Sky Juice Rain Barrel. Both are 55-gallon, recycled food-grade barrels. Through the grant program, municipalities are eligible to receive subsidies for one type of barrel. Photos are available on vendor websites.

The grant provides $10 discounts towards the purchase price of rain barrels. Grantees will hold one-day rain barrel distribution events in conjunction with the selected vendor. All rain barrel discounts must by used by June 30, 2008 or forfeited. Grantees may purchase unsold barrels by June 30, 2008 at the discount price for future distribution to the public. All grantees must agree to publicize the availability of the rain barrels using materials provided by the vendors and MassDEP, and conduct a follow-up survey of at least 10% of the recipients to track equipment usage and seek feedback on the program. A summary of survey findings shall be provided to MassDEP by December 2008.

In order to maximize distribution, grantees must agree to sell the barrels and conservation kits to the public at a discount, place the revenue received into a dedicated account, and continue to reorder bins until the funds are depleted or the public demand is met.

|Application: Rain barrels are designed to capture rainwater from downspouts allowing for the reuse of water in residential settings. |

All grantees must agree to publicize the availability of these tools and conduct a follow-up survey of at least 10% of the recipients to track equipment installation and seek feedback on the program. A summary of survey findings shall be provided to MassDEP by December 2008.

SCHOOL CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT/CLEAN-OUT

MassDEP is offering grants for creating sustainable chemical management systems in public schools and clearing out stockpiled chemicals. The goals of this program are to reduce the purchasing of unnecessary chemicals, safely manage the chemicals necessary for classroom instruction and management of the physical plant, and prevent future stockpiling. Schools selected for this grant will receive professional hazardous waste management services to perform a chemical inventory, training on chemical hazard awareness and how to establish and implement a chemical management plan, and up to $5,000 per school district in clean-out expenses for unnecessary chemicals.

Individual middle or high schools, or school districts are eligible for this grant. Applications must be submitted by a municipality on behalf of its school(s).

Schools selected for this grant must commit to:

• establishing an environmental health and safety team to implement the project

• developing and implementing a chemical management plan

• an annual chemical storage and safety check by the local Fire Department

• sending a minimum of three officials to a MassDEP provided one day-long or two half day trainings on school chemical management

• submitting a summary report to MassDEP on the actions taken to implement the school’s chemical management plan

MERCURY / UNIVERSAL WASTE PRODUCTS STORAGE EQUIPMENT – NEW IN FY08

Through this grant, MassDEP is offering wooden sheds to expand residential access for the collection and recycling of mercury containing products. If awarded, municipalities will receive ONE storage shed for collecting universal wastes such as fluorescent lamps, certain batteries, and other mercury-containing devices (e.g., thermostats, thermometers, mercury switches and flow meters.) This grant does not pay for operating expenses of the shed, and municipalities will be responsible for all costs for recycling the materials collected.

IDLING REDUCTION CAMPAIGN TOOLKIT

Through this grant, MassDEP assists municipalities in reducing exhaust from idling vehicles and school buses by implementing a community or school-based idling reduction campaign. The toolkit provides the planning and education materials for a campaign. The Idling Reduction Toolkit includes metal street signs (2 types) with an idling reduction message, informational hand cards on the health effects of idling, bumper stickers, windshield decals, sample press releases, fact sheets, a model municipal idling reduction policy and other materials to design a customized idling reduction campaign.

To view all the toolkit items, including artwork for the signs and educational materials, please go to and scroll down to Resources and Links.

DIESEL VEHICLE RETROFIT EQUIPMENT – CHANGES IN FY08

As part of its Diesel Emissions Reduction Strategy, MassDEP is offering grants to municipalities for retrofitting existing municipally-owned off-road construction diesel vehicles. This grant will allow for the retrofit of 2-4 vehicles per award. For a listing of eligible off-road vehicles, please refer to the grant application companion document at

Two types of retrofit technologies will be available: diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) and diesel particulate filters (DPF). The cost per vehicle, including installation, is approximately $1,200 and $8,200, respectively.
