Deadline Extended for Pesticide Container Recycling Collection Point Improvement Grant Program

The Montana Department of Agriculture has extended the application deadline for its Pesticide Container Recycling Collection Point Improvement Grant Program to May 15.

Established with federal funds awarded to the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Multipurpose State and Tribal Assistance Grant (MPG) to assist with the installation, maintenance, and improvement of collection sites structures throughout the state, the new grant program protects Montana’s environment by keeping pesticide container plastic out of landfills. Up to $28,000 total in funding is available. Applicants must match 20 percent of award funds to be reimbursed for material, contracting, and labor costs.
