Waste Tire Grants

Through these grants, the KDHE intends to stimulate the production and sale of commercial products including playground cover made from recycled Kansas waste tires. These efforts benefit waste reduction by removing material from the waste stream to conserve landfill space and reduce the need for new solid waste facilities.

Local units of government and school districts are eligible to apply for funding which will provide up to 50% of the total cost to purchase and install eligible products made from waste tires.

Grant applications will be received by the KDHE, Bureau of Waste Management, 1000 Jackson, Suite 320, Topeka, Kansas 66612-1366 and must be postmarked by January 15, 2012.
