The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality has awarded Golden Triangle Solid Waste Management Authority a $34,125 grant to assist in a household hazardous waste project for Choctaw, Clay, Lowndes, Noxubee, Oktibbeha and Webster counties.
"We are pleased to announce this grant that will assist the efforts of Golden Triangle SWMA in the management of hazardous wastes," said Trudy Fisher, MDEQ executive director.
Cities and counties may apply for solid waste assistance grants through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Local communities use these grants for programs to prevent and clean up unauthorized dumps; to aid in hiring local solid waste enforcement officers; for public education efforts on solid waste disposal and recycling; and to establish programs for the collection of white goods, bulky wastes and recyclables.
