Illinois Food Scrap Composting Revitalization and Advancement Program (FSCRAP) David E. Smith, IL DCEO – Recycling 217-785-2006; David.E.Smith@illinois.gov Green Town: May 21, 2014 When Did Scraps become Waste? (WW II Era Poster) DCEO’s Food Scrap Program • F-SCRAP is designed to assist entities with the acquisition of equipment or to make project necessary site improvements. Collection or processing projects must increase the volume of food scrap material being diverted in Illinois. The program can also support costs for equipment related to marketing end-products. A more recent change allows for funding costs related to obtaining an IEPA permit when one is required. • DCEO expects to open its next cycle of grant this fall for project to go on-line in the Spring/Summer 2015. About $1 million in funds available. A minimum 10% project match is required. What Have We Funded? What Have We Funded? What Have We Funded? YEAH!
