Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant

The Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant Program, administered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, aims to divert waste tires from landfills and promote recycled tire products. This program offers funding for projects that address engineering challenges using lightweight, free-draining tire-derived aggregates. This initiative supports sustainable waste management practices.

NOTE: First application due date is represented by the pre-proposal deadlines above. The second is the date that Required Authorization documents and Environmentally Preferable Purchasing and Practices (EPPP) Policy documents must be uploaded (if these are not submitted with the application). If the applicant does not have an EPPP Policy at the time of application, an EPPP Policy must be adopted by the secondary due date, represented by the full proposal deadlines above.
Tire-Derived Aggregate Grant Program
The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers a program to provide opportunities to divert waste tires from landfill disposal, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content tire products. The Tire-Derived Aggregate (TDA) Grant Program (Program) provides assistance for solving a variety of engineering challenges. TDA, which is produced from shredded tires, is lightweight, free-draining, and a less expensive alternative to conventional lightweight aggregates.
