The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Recycling and Planning, has developed a $200,000 recycling demonstration program that will provide matching grants of up to $20,000 per applicant institution to colleges and universities that seek to establish food waste recycling systems on their campuses. This program is funded through the Recycling Tax established in the “Recycling Enhancement Act”, which includes a provision for funding recycling research and demonstration projects at New Jersey colleges and universities. The guidance document is attached. Note that application deadline for colleges and universities has been extended to November 1, 2010.

The Solid Waste Resource Renewal Group of Rutgers has put together a session of presentations of some on-site organics recycling technologies that are eligible for partial funding through this program. Session details are described below and more information is attached.

Attached is the updated agenda for the session we are sponsoring with presentations from companies with onsite technologies to recycle food waste. NJDEP representatives will be on hand to answer questions about the current RFP for higher education institutions for partial funding for one of these onsite technologies.

Please RSVP if you have not already. A parking permit is also attached FOR 99C AND 99D. Please avoid a ticket by parking in one of these lots, and putting your permit on your dash board. A map of the campus is found at: http://rumaps.rutgers.edu/ Look for the Cook Campus part of the map.

Basic directions: get into the far right lane AFTER the Ryders Lane exits and take College Farm Road off of Route 1 southbound (you have to make a u turn if you are going north, and get onto the exit from Route 1 southbound). Take College Farm to the stop sign at Dudley. Turn right, then right again at Biel Road. You will pass the campus center on your left on your way to the two approved parking lots, which will be around the curve and then on your right. Walk back to the campus center.
