The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, working through its Pollution Prevention Advisory Board and the Assistance Committee to the board, requests applications for a monetary rebate from the Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity (RREO) Fund. The intent of the RREO rebate program is to financially assist free public recycling drop-off sites that must ship their recyclables considerable distances to bring them to market or to be further processed.

Additional Eligibility Criteria
According to the Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 25-16.5-105(1)(k), any local government, nonprofit, or for-profit entity within the State of Colorado that performs the services or recycles the materials listed below may apply for a rebate. Any entity that incurs transportation/hauling costs associated with providing one or more free public recycling drop-off sites is eligible to apply for a rebate.

Each drop-off site must collect a minimum of 10 tons of qualifying recyclables during the rebate period to be eligible.

The following facilities are considered drop-off sites and would be eligible for a rebate provided that recyclables are accepted from the general public at no cost:
1. A drop-off site that is operated by any local government, nonprofit, or for-profit entity on public or private land within the State of Colorado
2. A Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or similar processing center that processes, sorts, and/or bales less than 8,000 tons of recyclables per year
3. An end-user of recyclable material within the State of Colorado that processes less than 8,000 tons per year
4. A facility that collects and processes post-consumer glass for recycling, but processes less than 8,000 tons per year

An organization applying for this rebate for the first time must include a W9 form with their submitted application. If an organization has previously applied for and received a rebate from this program, a W9 form is not required unless the address you wish the rebate check to be mailed to has changed.
Estimated Size of Grant
Two formulas will be used to calculate rebate awards for eligible recycling drop-off sites:
1. Sixty (60) percent of the fund will be allocated based on the tonnage recycled and the miles traveled to bring recyclables to the nearest processing facility.
2. Forty (40) percent of the rebate will be allocated based on the number of eligible recycling drop-off sites.

For further details, see pp. 2-3 of the information packet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mpEH5ZzK7P28dhGaloQ-g4JikxwmXvja/view
