Dutchess County Government is offering a grant program to incentivize food waste reduction within its municipalities and public schools. This initiative aligns with a broader mission to promote environmental sustainability and responsible waste management at the local level. By providing financial assistance for the installation and operation of in-vessel aerobic composters, the program directly addresses the issue of food waste, contributing to a greener and more efficient waste infrastructure within the county. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are local government entities with taxing authority and public K-12 schools located within Dutchess County. The program's impact goals are centered on reducing the amount of food waste sent to landfills, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and extending the lifespan of existing waste disposal facilities. Encouraging collaborative applications among entities further amplifies the potential for widespread adoption and greater collective impact across the county. The grant prioritizes the purchase of in-vessel composting systems and covers ancillary installation costs such as piping, electrical work, concrete slabs, and roofing materials. This focus ensures that eligible applicants can establish functional and sustainable composting operations. The program is structured as a reimbursement grant, requiring purchases to be made and paid for by the applicant before the county reimburses 50% of eligible expenses, up to a maximum of $50,000 per award. A total of $200,000 has been appropriated in the 2024 Dutchess County Budget for this program. The expected outcomes of this program include a significant reduction in food waste volume from participating municipalities and schools, an increase in local composting infrastructure, and greater public awareness and engagement in sustainable waste practices. Measurable results will likely include the number of composting systems installed, the volume of food waste diverted from landfills, and the number of participating entities. The project period runs from September 1, 2024, to September 1, 2026, allowing for the implementation and initial operation of these composting systems.
