This California program funds regional pilot projects that place bins to collect empty glass beverage containers from five or more restaurants and on-sale ABC-licensed establishments, then haul the glass to a processor. Awards run $250,000 to $4,000,000, but you must match the grant dollar-for-dollar with non-CalRecycle funds. If you are not set up to run a multi-site glass collection and transport operation in California, do not apply.
