The Buy-Recycled grant funds are available on a competitive basis to all Montgomery County schools and 501(c)3 designated non-profit agencies. Funding may be used to purchase and promote any type of recycled content material including, but not limited to, paper, plastic, steel, aluminum, tires and glass.
