Rural towns, businesses and individuals in western Massachusetts are eligible for help increasing recycling, composting, reducing and managing their waste through a $90,000 grant award to the Center for Ecological Technology (CET) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development.
This new funding will enable CET to help communities with fewer than 10,000 residents divert waste from landfills and combustion facilities through waste reduction, reuse and recycling. "We're excited to be able to work with a broad range of groups in western Mass," said Jamie Cahillane, director of recycling services for CET.
