GRANTS, LOANS AND OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

The Coca Cola Company, Keep America Beautiful Bin Grant Program

This program supports recycling in communities and on college and university campuses by providing bins to selected grant recipients for the collection of beverage container recyclables. Grants will be provided to a limited number of applicants who can demonstrate how their proposals will lead to sustainable recycling opportunities.
This year the bin grant program is broken up into two categories:
- Public Space Bin GrantsThe Public Space bin grant program is open to non-profit organizations, government agencies, schools and religious organizations. Learn more about the Public Space Bin Grants.
- Collegiate Bin GrantsThe collegiate bin grant program is open to degree granting colleges and universities. Learn more about the Collegiate Bin Grants.
Proposals for both grant offerings will be accepted online between January 26 and March 2, 2012.

Developing recycling markets, collection programs, businesses and more, often need seed money.  On this site, you will see listed grant, loan and other business funding opportunities that are available through federal, regional, state and local programs. Check back often to see what is available.
