Opportunity Information: Apply for W911KB 21 1 0013
The USAG Hawaii Recycling Program Field Support grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W911KB 21 1 0013) is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement focused on strengthening recycling and pollution prevention work at U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii, with specific technical support to the Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) at Pohakuloa Training Area. The core purpose is practical, on-the-ground assistance to the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) Environmental Division to reduce the amount of solid waste sent to municipal landfills and to improve overall waste diversion performance through stronger recycling systems and participation.
The work described is largely field-based and operational. The selected recipient would help evaluate current recycling conditions across facilities by conducting field surveys, identifying gaps, and recommending or helping implement recycling measures that can realistically work in day-to-day installation operations. In addition to assessing infrastructure and practices, the project places heavy emphasis on outreach: participating in public education efforts that encourage installation personnel to recycle correctly and consistently. This means supporting awareness campaigns, communicating requirements and best practices, and helping build a culture where recycling is routine rather than optional.
Another major part of the scope is compliance-oriented reporting and documentation. The recipient is expected to consolidate information and prepare report submissions needed under permits and under applicable state and federal laws, regulations, and executive orders related to recycling and solid waste management. In practice, this typically involves gathering data from site activities, organizing it in a format the installation and regulators require, and ensuring the program can demonstrate progress toward diversion and pollution prevention goals while staying aligned with legal and policy requirements.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally indicates the government anticipates substantial involvement or collaboration during performance (for example, coordination with DPW staff on deliverables, outreach activities, and reporting expectations). The activity category is Environment under CFDA 12.005. The award ceiling is listed as $140,818, and the opportunity anticipated making one award. The posting shows a creation date of August 3, 2021, with an original closing date of September 2, 2021. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement.
Overall, the grant supports environmental compliance and pollution prevention at a military installation by combining three practical elements: (1) field assessments and implementation support to improve recycling systems, (2) ongoing education and outreach to increase participation and reduce contamination, and (3) structured reporting to meet permit and legal obligations. The intended outcome is a measurable reduction in landfill-bound waste and stronger installation-wide performance against solid waste diversion targets, driven by both improved processes and sustained engagement with the people generating the waste.Apply for W911KB 21 1 0013
