  1. Recycling Funding Accessing Funds That Make It Happen

  2. Developing the Funding • The Basics • Grants • Partnerships • Direction and Future • Revenues

  3. Time for a little background… The Basics before we start…

  4. What is a Grant? Grants are non-repayable funds disbursed by one party (grant makers), often a government department, corporation, foundation or trust, to a recipient, often (but not always) a nonprofit entity, educational institution, business or an individual.

  5. Benefits of Grants • Reliable investment funding • Appropriate to organization’s mission • Credibility to organization and mission • Gives influence • Infrastructure creation • Resources of granting agency • Free press coverage for organization’s mission • Mission promotion

  6. Types of Grants • Research • Curriculum • Demonstration • Training • Unique • Equipment • Fellowships • Federal Laboratory Research • Pilot Projects

  7. Who Gives Money, Why? • Federal Agencies • State Agencies • Private Foundations • Corporations

  8. Types of Funding Grant - Assistance • Purpose is to transfer money, property, services, or anything of value to recipient in order to accomplish a public purpose • No substantial involvement is anticipated between the sponsor and the recipient Cooperative Agreement - Assistance • Substantial involvement between sponsor and recipient Contract - Procurement • Acquire property or services for direct benefit or use of the funding source

  9. Moving towards a common goal… Partnerships

  10. What is a Partnership? • Partnerships take many forms: • Solid Waste Region • Part 9 Authority (Public Solid Waste Corporation) • County – County • County – Municipality • Local Government – Private Sector • Private Company – Private Company • Multi Region • Cooperative marketing

  11. Forms of Partnership • Specialized Efforts • Eliminate Empty Return Loads • Leverages the strengths of each partner • Marketing • Cost sharing • Promotion Essentially creates a “Win-Win” situation for participants

  12. New Focus - Hub and Spoke Partnerships • A special partnership defined as • A central processing “hub” • Two or more collection “spokes” • Hubs (center of the wheel) primary function is to achieve the economy of scale and process material • Spokes primary function is collection • By specializing in function, economy of scale can be achieved. • Economic partnerships as opposed to a statutory partnership (Region)

  13. Benefits of Hub and Spoke… • Cost Effective • Economics – Higher Load Value • Focused Approach – Collection or Processing • Economy of Scale • Avoid Duplication of Equipment • Leverages Resources of Participants • Transportation Savings

  14. TN Hub and Spoke Systems

  15. Example of The End Goal

  16. Moving to the Future • Increase inter-government participation • Increase solid waste planning and coordination • Solid Waste Region/Part 9 Authority Board • Annual Progress Report (Thinking ahead) • Resolutions laying out participation (not support) • Stressing the basic commodities • Paper/Fiber, Plastics, Metals, Glass • Goal oriented – Increased Production, Expansion, Capture Rate Improvements

  17. The Future and Direction … SWM Grant Program

  25. Two Quotes to Leave You With: • Pollution <Garbage> is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value. --R. Buckminster Fuller

  26. We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our neighbor. Goods are called good because they can be used for good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who use them properly. -- Clement of Alexandria (150?-220?)
