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