Apply for an Act 190, Chapter 2, Household Hazardous Waste Collection Grant

Act 190, Chapter 2, offers grants for collecting hazardous household waste, electronics, and tires (excluding tire pile cleanups). Registered sponsors can get reimbursed for up to 50% of eligible costs. These costs cover collection, transport, waste management, and educational programs.

Overview

In Pennsylvania, a $2-per-ton fee funds recycling programs. This fee applies to all waste, except ash, in landfills or recovery facilities. The funds support local recycling and environmental programs. They also boost state efforts in market development, education, and technical aid.
