Nothing lasts forever. A comprehensive system of recycling is essential for any nation to avoid waste and make the most of its natural resources. This waste reduction is also a key factor in combating climate change and pollution. There is always room to expand and improve upon recycling - a place where many nonprofits currently operate. 

These nonprofits are only able to do their work through the generous grants provided by recycling grants. These grants can be put towards a wide range of purposes. These can include the purchase of new recycling equipment, the installation of more efficient recycling collection systems, or recycling education campaigns.

There are many recycling grant providers operating today. These traditionally included federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as state environmental departments. There are many local government initiatives, community foundations and private foundations involved in this space. 

When drafting recycling grant proposals, it's essential to include data to back up your argument. What sort of statistics you are using can depend on the nature of your nonprofit’s work, and could include data on local waste amounts, recycling rates and the impact of waste on the regional environment. Good places to start collecting this data include the Environmental Protection agency, state environmental reports, and local state management studies.
