About this grant
In accordance with 415 ILCS 5/22.15(i), the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Materials Management and Compliance Section (MMCS) has the authority to administer grants funding household waste collections. This grant opportunity is open to units of local government to implement a residential sharps collection. Each unit of local government is eligible for the actual costs of sharps collection and disposal, up to $35,000.00. Eligible costs include: costs for advertising sharps collection stations, costs for educational materials focused on proper disposal of sharps, costs to obtain collection containers for use by individual residents, collection receptacles to store sharps at the sharps collection station, mobilization fees assessed by an appropriately permitted potentially infectious medical waste (PIMW) transporter to pick up collected sharps, disposal fees for the collected sharps, and indirect costs. Sharps accepted at the sharps collection station shall only be sharps collected from private residents; no business waste may be combined with the sharps collected under this funding opportunity.
