Description

Funding is being made available for approximately three trash removal projects that include the demonstration of the use of devices/machinery to remove trash from Great Lakes rivermouths and harbors. Funding will support the purchase and use of devices/machinery -- such as small vessels to skim or otherwise remove trash -- and can help offset the cost of recycling or disposing of the collected material. Projects may also include the purchase and placement of appropriate waste receptacles in the rivermouth and harbor areas to prevent future trash accumulation.
