About. |
What we do.The Altamont Settlement Agreement stipulates that a per ton solid waste surcharge be collected in order to support recycling education programs and job training in the field of waste prevention and recycling and to mitigate the impacts of the landfill operations on the affected community. The Altamont Settlement Agreement also created the Altamont Settlement Agreement Education Advisory Board (EAB) to oversee funds generated by the surcharge. To accomplish this task, the EAB solicits competitive grants from applicants that plan to implement recycling and environmental awareness programs.
