Community Rebates & Mini-Grants

Maintaining Healthy Waterways

Citizens are the key to healthy waterways and a healthy environment. Small actions, done consistently, help everyone maintain the County’s high quality of life. Simply picking up after pets, disposing of oils and grease safely and planting more plants makes a difference in how our neighborhoods look and how we experience our environment.

To help citizens participate and contribute on a larger scale, either individually or as a group of neighbors, the County offers a variety of rebates, mini-grants and giveaways that promote activities to improve our community. Funding is limited so apply early.
