Ineligible Expenses <br />The following general operating expenses should NOT be submitted for reimbursement. <br />Standard Operational Expenses/Building Overhead: Since most of the municipal recycling coordinators are part-time positions and staff <br />serve multiple roles at the municipality, standard operating expenses including office space rental, leasing office equipment and general <br />office supplies, are not eligible for reimbursement. <br />Project Expenses: Specific to transportation, energy or ground water protection. <br />Collection Costs: The costs for general waste and recycling collection at municipal buildings, trash costs when advertised as being <br />accepted at a recycling/cleanup day, and costs associated with road side cleanup of illegally dumped materials should not be included in <br />this application. <br />General Municipal Staff: Staff time related to standard municipal operations (city administrator, office administration, facilities <br />management, finance and legal staff) are not eligible for reimbursement. If municipal staff do not assist the recycling coordinator <br />directly on activities to help the municipality achieve its recycling goal, e.g. communications and collecting, processing or marketing <br />recyclable materials and organics, their time will not be reimbursed. <br />2021 Base Funding Allocation <br />All municipalities are eligible for base waste abatement grant funding.
