WVDEP awards $45,000 in FY2026 Covered Electronic Devices Recycling Grants

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), under its Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan (REAP), has approved nine applicants for Fiscal Year 2026 Covered Electronic Devices (CED) Recycling Grants. A total of $45,000 has been awarded to counties and municipalities across the state to support electronic waste collection and recycling programs.

Established in 2008, the CED Program requires manufacturers to register their brands with the state, with collected fees used to fund local recycling initiatives. These grants help communities conduct collection events, expand recycling services, and divert covered electronic devices from the waste stream, reducing environmental impacts.
