The Falls Township Board of Supervisors hope their investment in a grant writer will lead to them once again receiving a state recycling grant.

The township’s annual Act 101 recycling grant application for 2022 will be completed after the supervisors last week approved a grant writing proposal. The supervisors gave the work to F.X. Browne Inc. for the firm’s $5,500 proposal for drafting the grant application.
Each year, Falls Township receives more than $50,000 in state money from the grant, officials said.
Although the award from the prior year has not yet been received, Betsy Reukauf, the township finance director, anticipates it to be in the neighborhood of $100,000.

F.X. Browne Inc. will obtain the appropriate paperwork required for the application as part of its proposal, officials said.
The total tonnage for both residential and commercial premises determines the grant amounts.

“Residents and businesses are encouraged to recycle as much material as possible. Every little bit helps increase the amount of potential grant funds,” the township said in a statement.
“Haulers make it even easier to recycle with single-stream recycling, which allows for paper, plastic, and cans to be co-mingled in the same container. Recycling materials can be placed in any receptacle, provided it’s marked as being recycling and not mistaken for trash. Falls sells 22-gallon and 32-gallon recycling containers at the municipal building,” the statement added.
For more than 20 years, F.X. Browne Inc. has submitted the township’s grant applications.
