Funding available for water bottle refilling stations

6/6/2022

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s Recycling and Litter Prevention Water Bottle Refilling Station Program helps public and private K-12 schools purchase and install new or retrofit water bottle refilling stations. These refilling stations help schools reduce, reuse and recycle, discouraging single-use plastic water bottles.

The maximum amount of grant funding available is $5,000 per school or $10,000 per school district. Grantees have 12 months to buy and install the equipment. Each grant recipient will receive full payment when the refilling station contract is executed.
