Ohio EPA establishes and enforces standards for air, water, waste management and cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous substances. We also provide financial assistance to businesses and communities; environmental education programs for businesses and the public; and pollution prevention assistance to help businesses minimize their waste at the source.
The Water Bottle Refilling Station Grant is designed to support governments, non-profits, and schools in their efforts to reduce single-use plastic water bottles, decrease plastic waste, and increase landfill diversion by providing funding to purchase water bottle refilling stations. Organizations can apply for grants up to $10,000 without the need for matching funds. The grants specifically intend to fund the purchase of equipment for either new or retrofit water bottle refilling stations.
