Applications are now open for Kenton County's annual Trash for Cash program, an initiative led by the Solid Waste Management division of Kenton County Public Works. The program provides nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, and civic groups with a chance to earn funds while contributing positively to the community.
Trash for Cash encourages groups to clean designated roadways in Kenton County, offering $100 per mile cleaned. This initiative aims to maintain the county's cleanliness and support local organizations through a unique fundraising opportunity.
Eligible groups can apply online or submit a paper application. Once approved, they will be assigned specific roads to clean up. Participants must adhere to safety guidelines provided by Kenton County. After completing their cleanup tasks, groups receive payment based on the total miles covered.
Key details include:
- Applications open on February 1, 2025.
- Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, and civic groups.
- Earnings are set at $100 per mile cleaned.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis but depend on funding availability.
