Would the reuse of mature trees and/or landscape plants be eligible for the reuse assistance grant?
We have situations where planted trees and some plants maintained by the City are to be removed and could be used at new locations. This would reduce the amount of new purchase and promote material reuse within our community. The trees and plants would otherwise be destined for disposal and the associated material waste. A: Yes, reusing trees and/or landscaping plants by replanting them at a new location would be an eligible project under the Reuse Assistance Grant program. If an application receives a passing score in the General Review category the application would be eligible to receive up to 5 points in the Preference Criteria category because targeting organic materials is a key priority waste for this cycle.
