Giving green to keep Daviess County green!
The Daviess County Solid Waste Department is accepting applications from non-profit groups interested in turning roadside trash into cash for the 2025 calendar year.
Approved applicants will receive a minimum of $100 per centerline mile of roads cleaned. The total dollar amount is determined by the Energy & Environment Cabinet’s Division of Waste Management.
Program funding is derived from the Kentucky Environmental Remediation Fee of $1.75 per ton of waste received at the Landfill & Transfer Station.
In order to participate in the program, your organization must be from Daviess County, Kentucky and a federally recognized 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit. Applications must be received by December 1, 2024.
For more information, call 270-229–4484 or email Mike Hamilton at mhamilton@daviessky.org.
