Background
ADEQ – Recycling
ADEQ’s recycling program, which began 1991, has facilitated recycling initiatives in every county in Arizona. Currently, the program focuses on hosting environmental roadshows across the state, particularly in rural areas, to educate Arizonans about what they can do to establish or enhance recycling programs to protect and preserve their environment | Learn More >
ADEQ – Brownfields Grant Program
Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized properties where reuse is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. The spaces may include sites contaminated by hazardous substances, petroleum or mine-scarred land. ADEQ’s Brownfields Assistance Program conducts projects through Arizona’s State Response Grant using funds provided by the Environmental Protection Agency. The program has funded more than 50 projects, assisting entities such as local governments, schools, hospitals, nonprofits and now tribes in completing environmental assessments, cleanup and restoration | Learn More >
ADOT – Adopt a Highway Volunteer Program
The Adopt a Highway volunteer program provides a multimillion-dollar labor value to Arizona taxpayers by helping to keep our highways clean. The program began in 1988 in Globe and today there are volunteer groups in every county of the Grand Canyon State, especially in rural Arizona, where volunteer litter pickup provides big savings in maintenance costs. | Learn More >
