New Hampshire the Beautiful, Inc. Awards Recycling Equipment Grants to the New Hampshire Towns of Grantham, Northumberland, and Washington.
Epsom, NH: The New Hampshire the Beautiful, Inc. (NHtB) Board of Directors has voted to approve over $6,000 in Recycling Equipment Grant funding for three New Hampshire towns to support their recycling and diversion programs:
- The Town of Grantham, NH, was awarded $2,500 towards the purchase of variable frequency drives (VFDs), which will increase the efficiency of their baling operations and prolong the life of their equipment. Utilizing a VFD allows the motor that powers the equipment to run only when there is a demand, instead of constantly idling.
- The Town of Northumberland, NH, was awarded $2,500 towards the purchase of a container to be used to collect and transport construction and demolition debris (C&D) to be recycled.
- The Town of Washington, NH, was awarded $1,000 towards the purchase of rotating pallet forks, which will help the facility more efficiently manage its glass recycling program. The forks will come in handy for the strenuous process of moving drums of glass – a process that previously had to be done manually by facility staff.
The NH the Beautiful Recycling Equipment Grant program is available to any New Hampshire Municipal Recycling Center or Transfer Station. The grant program is designed to assist communities with the purchase of equipment to facilitate or improve municipal recycling programs.
