Farm and Ranch Cleanup Grant

To help clean up illegal disposal sites on farm and ranch property, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has a Farm and Ranch Solid Waste Cleanup and Abatement Grant Program. This grant can help you clean up solid waste that others have dumped on your property. In Alameda County, interested farm and ranch landowners can apply through the Alameda County Resource Conservation District. We will visit your site, and if the project is eligible, we can work with you to put together an application.  Applications are accepted several times a year.  A site may be eligible for funding if all of the following criteria are met:

• The site is zoned or otherwise authorized for agricultural use, and is used or could be used for rangeland or agricultural activities
• Unauthorized solid waste disposal has occurred and is a nuisance or threat to public health and safety or the environment
• The responsible party cannot be identified, located, or pay for timely and proper remediation
