About this grant
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) offers the Convenience Center Grant to help Tennessee counties establish or upgrade convenience centers for solid waste collection. Funds cover land, paving, fencing, shelters, power connections, containers, compactors, and public education materials, but not regular operating expenses. The grant is a cost-sharing match program with awards capped at $125,000.
Eligibility details
- Notes: Eligible applicants are Tennessee counties needing grant assistance to establish or upgrade convenience centers required by T.C.A. § 68-211-851. Priority is given to applicants replacing unmanned collection systems ('Green Boxes'), establishing new centers in underserved areas or not meeting minimum service levels under Rule 0400-11-01-.10(2), and those applying for a used automotive fluids grant for proposed centers. Applicants awarded a similar grant from the Solid Waste Management Fund in the last two years with open balances or who failed to meet obligations of other Division of Land Protection grant contracts in the last two years are ineligible.
