2024 Lyon County Entity Recycling Grant and Waste Reduction Guidelines Instructions and Requirements

Lyon county is committed to improving the rate of recycling and reducing the amount of waste that is generated in our county. The purpose of this grant program is to reach out to schools, faith facilities, and businesses to help them implement new practices to increase the amount of material that is recycled, which in turn will lead to a reduction in the amount of waste that is produced.

 Entities can apply for grants to fund their new or improved recycling and waste reduction costs. Lyon County will pay for bins, custom labels, and certain supplies requested by applicants. These items will be shipped to the applicant. Lyon County will reimburse other expenses after county staff members have confirmed that allowable purchases were made and programs were implemented as proposed in the application. Applications will be accepted and evaluated throughout the year on a “first come, first serve” basis. Applications will be considered year-round until funds have been fully disbursed. Entities can apply one (1) time per calendar year or as approved by Lyon County. The grant applications may take up to four (4) weeks or longer to process depending upon the date received, the quality of the application, and county workloads. Applications that meet the program objectives and requirements will be evaluated by staff to determine grant eligibility. During the review process, staff may contact the applicant for additional information and/or to clarify the application content. All decisions by Lyon County will be final, and are not subject to review.
