The Community Champions Program is now open for 2019 grant application submissions
The Community Champions Program (CCP), administered by Alberta Depot, is a grant program that supports municipalities and non-profit organizations in building participation in beverage container recycling. The program provides funding for specialized recycling bins (indoor and outdoor) and start-up support for local beverage container recycling programs, by ensuring more accessible and convenient out-of-home opportunities for recycling. The CCP program helps to keep beverage containers out of landfills and provides important financial and social benefits for communities.
CCP offers $20,000 per municipality or non-profit organization to purchase recycling infrastructure. The funding is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis until all the funds have been distributed or until November 30, 2019. Municipalities and non-profit organizations may submit more than one application during the year, but the combined applications cannot exceed a total value of $20,000.
