CalRecycle: Beverage Container Recycling Grant - Competitive. 

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
is pleased to announce the release of the 2011/12 and 2012/13
Beverage Container Recycling Grant (BCRG) Solicitation.
CalRecycle is seeking projects that implement new or enhance
existing programs to provide convenient beverage container
recycling opportunities in various locations statewide.



Public Resources Code (PRC), Division 12.1, Chapter 7, Section
14581(a)(6) authorizes the Department to issue up to $1,500,000
million in the form of grants to promote increased recycling of
beverage containers throughout California. Effective March 8,
2010, AB 7 (8X) (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2010) was enacted as an
urgency measure to address matters of fiscal solvency for the
Beverage Container Recycling Fund, which ultimately suspended the
appropriation of the BCRG Program until January 1, 2012. To
streamline the upcoming grant cycle, CalRecycle is combining the
solicitation for the available grant funds for FY 2011/12
(January 2012 - June 2012), of $750,000 and FY 2012/13 available
funds of $1,500,000 million, amounting to a combined total of
$2,250,000 million in available grant funding.



The 2011/12 and 2012/13 Grant Solicitation, Phase 1 Concept
Application Form and Exhibits are available on the Department's
website at
