The ADEQ is again providing recycling grants to Arizona Little Leagues to promote recycling and prevent littering at baseball fields across the state.
Under the Little League Recycling & Litter Control Project, ADEQ provides funding to Little League organizations throughout Arizona for banners promoting recycling to be displayed at their ball fields & for recycling containers to be placed at the fields.
ADEQ first established the Little League Recycling & Litter Control Project for the 2004 Little League season. This year, ADEQ is making a total of $15,000 available to Little Leagues interested in participating in the recycling project.
"The program is now in its fifth year and has been a grand slam," said ADEQ Director Owens. "The more kids know about recycling, the more they want to recycle. This program helps our kids, helps the Little Leagues, & most importantly, helps the environment."
Little Leagues interested in applying for grant funding from ADEQ should contact Laura Newman at (602) 771-4459 or toll free at (800) 234-5677, ext. 771-4459, or by email to newman.laura@azdeq.gov. The deadline for applications is Feb. 15th, 2008.
