Cooperative Container Subsidy Program

To encourage greater participation in the Cooperative Container Procurement Program (Project #478), a 5% reimbursement is provided on a first-come-first-serve basis on container purchases made through the CCPP up to a set annual limit. For each container type, a portion of the subsidy is reserved for programs with 5,000 households or fewer. The subsidy is meant to encourage collective purchasing and is based on the projected avoided costs of having each municipality complete their own procurement process.
