Farm and Ranch Solid Waste Clean Up and Abatement Grant

The Farm & Ranch Solid Waste Clean Up & Abatement Grant program, administered by CalRecycle, provides financial support for the cleanup and prevention of illegal dumping on agricultural properties. The program defines eligible sites as private or public "farm and ranch" land where the owner is not responsible for the illegal disposal. Funded activities may include administrative costs, recycling/disposal, equipment, material, personnel expenses, and prevention efforts like site security and public education. Each fiscal year features four application cycles, with applicants having roughly two years to complete their projects. Multiple projects or sites can be included in a single application.
