DES MOINES, Iowa — The Build with Bags program is funded by the Iowa Grocery Industry Association and is a cooperative effort to keep Iowa beautiful.
The idea behind the grant is to increase the amount of plastic bags being recycled, reduce the consumption of plastic bags, increase the use of reusable bags and to encourage purchases of furniture and equipment made from recycled plastics.
The Build with Bags grant is used to spruce up a park, community center, etc. to improve the look and feel of an Iowa community.
You must apply through the Iowa Grocery Industry Association by March 30. You can find more information at IowaGrocers.com.
