Frederick County Recycling Wins Today!

Frederick County Recycling has been awarded a 30 in 30 Grant of $500 in the Recycling category.

This 30 in 30 Grant will provide consistency and stability to the Frederick County’s newest recycling program, ReThreads. The program has diverted 58 tons of material from the local landfill since its inception. Funding from our 30 in 30 Grant will expand the program to provide textile recycling bins and custom signage at the four recycling drop-off places that currently do not offer a textile recycling option. The County intends to produce a brochure and posters promoting textile recycling, in an effort to boost participation.

Since 2011, we have provided over $90,000 in 30 in 30 Grants to 120 organizations. Government, non-profit and service organizations in Virginia were invited to apply for one of thirty grants for $500, $750 or $1,000 in three different categories: Litter Prevention, Recycling, and Community Beautification. These grants are made possible by Altria and MeadWestvaco.
