The Recycling and Solid Waste Division provides grant funds for programs or events that collect and remove trash and debris as part of community clean-up efforts.

Neighborhood associations, volunteer groups, and other nonprofit associations are encouraged to submit proposals. The grants are for up to $800 per grant per fiscal year. Grantees are limited to three grants of $800 - on a citywide basis - during each fiscal year.
