DNR suspends app for popular recycling program
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources, facing falling revenue, won’t accept applications for a program meant to encourage recycling and waste diversion projects to cut wastes at landfills. Ironically, the program is paid for with landfill fees, which fall as the alternative programs divert wastes. Department officials plan to consider taking applications again in summer 2017, depending on revenue. Projects already getting money from the Solid Waste Alternatives Program are not affected.
