New Change to the allocation method:

Starting in 2023, the allocation will follow a slightly modified process to what had been used previously. 
Previously, the final score on applications played a very minor role in the allocation process. On average, it affected final allocation amounts by 1% or less. This new method, however, will hold these scores to a higher standard, affecting the final allocated amount by an average of 10%. Those whose applications score above the median will receive an increase in funding (by about 10%) while those whose scores are below the median score will see a decrease in funding (by about 10%). In order to ensure your application receives the highest score possible, make sure to review the scoring rubric provided with the rest of the application documents.​

New for 2025: The new grant maximums for the 2025 Clean Sweep program have been changed from previous years maximums. Beginning in 2025, the Household Hazardous Waste program will be allocated $775,000, Agriculture is allocated $175,000, and the Unwanted Prescription Drug collection is allocated $50,000. Additionally, the requests maximums for single municipalities in the Household Hazardous Waste program have increased and are as follows:
