The following bins are available as part of the Fall 2008 grant cycle. Only one style of bin may be
requested through the grant. Most grant awards will fall within the number ranges described next to
each style, though compelling proposals may receive more. Applicants interested in more than the
listed number should request the desired quantity and indicate where prompted whether they will
accept a smaller quantity. Multiple applications may be submitted by the same organization as long
they are unique projects.

flat allowing for assembly in place. Designed to be used with a bag liner, the bins will hold up for
two or three uses, or more depending on their conditions of use. At the end of their useful life they
can be recycled with along with other cardboard boxes.
