The Jay County Solid Waste Management District provides the opportunity for Jay County teachers to submit education grant applications each year for funding consideration.

Applications will be available in early 2019.  Grant money is available for teachers who have a project or activity that pertains to recycling.  All applications are reviewed by the Board of Directors for funding consideration.

If you wish to request a paper copy of the application, please contact the district office.
