The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) is accepting applications for the first time through its new Pesticide Container Recycling Collection Point Improvement Grant Program. Grants will assist with the installation, maintenance, and improvement of collection sites structures throughout the state to protect Montana’s environment by keeping pesticide container plastic out of landfills.

“Montana’s Pesticide Container Recycling Program has been preserving the integrity of our state’s environment for over a decade,” said Christy Clark, Acting Director of Montana Department of Agriculture. “The collection point improvement grants will strengthen the program’s ability to continue providing these valuable recycling services across the state.”

Up to $28,000 total is available through the Pesticide Container Recycling Collection Point Improvement Grant Program established with federal funds awarded to the Montana Department of Agriculture by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Multipurpose State and Tribal Assistance Grant (MPG). Applicants must match 20% of award funds to be reimbursed for material, contracting, and labor costs.
