FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky counties may be able to cover costs of recycling or disposing of waste tires with $4,000 state grants.

The funds are available through the Energy and Environment Cabinet’s Division of Waste Management Waste Tire Trust Fund, the cabinet said in a news release.

Labor and equipment costs aren’t eligible, division official Gary Logsdon said.



Grant applications must be submitted by June 7. The grant covers the one-year period beginning July 1. The grants don’t require a match. Unused funds must be returned to the cabinet.

Grant packets will be sent by email to county judge-executives and solid waste coordinators.
