Tire-Derived Product (TDP) Grant Program

CalRecycle has issued the Notice of Funding Availability and released the Application for the 2014/15 Tire-Derived Product (TDP) Grant Program.

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers a competitive grant program to provide opportunities to divert tires from landfill disposal, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content products. The Tire-Derived Product Grant (TDP) Program is a reimbursement grant designed to use TDPs for repurposing projects such as pathways, landscaping, mats, playground surfacing, curb stops, and ramps.
