## Sustainable Materials Recovery Program (SMRP) The Sustainable Materials Recovery Program provides equipment grants to municipalities and includes the Recycling Dividends Program. This program supports local governments in purchasing composting equipment, recycling infrastructure, and food waste processing systems.
The application is typically posted in April each year, so municipalities should begin preparing their proposals now to be ready when the window opens. ## Recycling and Reuse Business Development Grants Great news for businesses: the Recycling and Reuse Business Development Grant application is open now.
This program provides funding to Massachusetts businesses that manufacture products from recycled materials, process recyclables, or develop innovative reuse and repair business models. If you're looking to expand your recycling or food waste processing capabilities, this is an excellent opportunity to secure funding. The Reduce, Reuse, Repair Micro Grant program supports smaller-scale initiatives focused on waste reduction and reuse.
This application will be posted this spring (2026), making it an accessible option for organizations looking to pilot reuse programs or small composting initiatives. These micro grants are designed to be more accessible than larger grant programs, with streamlined applications and faster award timelines. Unlike the grant programs with limited application windows, the Massachusetts Recycling Loan Fund accepts applications at any time.
Administered by BDC New England, this program provides low-interest loans to businesses investing in recycling equipment, composting infrastructure, and food waste processing technology. This is an excellent option for organizations that need larger capital investments than grants typically cover, or who miss grant application deadlines.
## Waste Reduction Innovation Grant The Waste Reduction Innovation Grant supports cutting-edge projects that demonstrate new approaches to waste reduction. Note: This program will likely not open for new applications until 2027, so organizations interested in this funding should plan ahead and begin preparing innovative project proposals for the next cycle.
