CAPCOG, like other councils of governments, uses state funds provided by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) generated from landfill tipping fees to support eligible solid waste projects within the region that help implement the regional solid waste management plan.
CAPCOG is requesting applications for solid waste-handling equipment and community collection event projects to support responsible solid waste management in the 10-county CAPCOG region. The projects are intended to support CAPCOG’s Regional Solid Waste Management Plan. CAPCOG estimates about $50,000 to $60,000 to be available to local governments through this call of projects. The monies being made available are unallocated funds realized through programmatic savings during the FY 2022-23 biennium.
