FY 2027 Regional Solid Waste Grant Program

RIO GRANDE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

Notice to Private Industry Providing Recycling or Solid Waste Services

September 8, 2026

This notice is issued by Rio Grande Council of Governments to advise private industries providing recycling or solid waste services within the Rio Grande Council of Governments region that applications are being accepted from local governments for grant funding for recycling and other solid waste management projects within the region. These funds are provided through a grant from the TCEQ, under the authority of Section 361.014, Texas Health & Safety Code.

In accordance with the statutory provisions, a project or service funded under this program must promote cooperation between public and private entities and may not be otherwise readily available or create a competitive advantage over a private industry that provides recycling or solid waste services.

In order to comply with these requirements, applicants with projects that will provide recycling or other solid waste services are asked to notify private industries providing similar services within the geographic service area of the project, to ensure that any questions about the proposed project can be addressed early in the application process. Note that this notification process is not required for projects where a recycling or solid waste service will not be provided. If a local government contacts you about a proposed project, we recommend that you respond as soon as possible with any concerns you may have about the project.

In addition to this coordination process by the local governments, the applications will be available for public review during the time period and at the location listed below.

Review Dates and Times: October 22, 2026, at 10 a.m. MDT
Physical Location: City of El Paso Environmental Service Department (Cotton Patch Training Room) located at 7968 San Paulo Dr. El Paso, Texas 79907

If you have any concerns about a proposed project, as it relates to compliance with the statutory provisions, you may submit written comments to the address below by October 11, 2026. If you submit comments, you will be notified of the date and time when the projects will be reviewed by our Solid Waste Advisory Committee and will be afforded the opportunity to discuss your concerns with the Committee. 

Mailing Address: 8037 Lockheed, Ste. 100
Fax Number: 915-532-9385
Email Address: Marisaq@riocog.org

The Committee recommendations will be provided to our Rio Grande Council of Governments Board of Directors on November 6, 2026, which will make the final project selection decisions. Per the procedures established by the TCEQ, if a private industry submits comments opposing a project based on the statutory provisions, and the project is selected for funding, that private industry may then appeal the project selection to the TCEQ.

For further information about this process, and for the dates and times when the applications will be considered, please contact Marisa Quintanilla, Regional Services Director at 915-533-0998 x 119.
