SWTF Grant Program Administration Portal

Georgia EPD is pleased to announce the transition of all Solid Waste Trust Fund (SWTF) Grant Program processes to an online platform.

Applications, reporting, and reimbursement requests will now be accepted through the SWTF Grant Program Administration Portal. 

What is the SWTF Grant Program Administration Portal?

The SWTF Grant Program Administration Portal is an online grant management platform. Previously, applications, reports, and reimbursement requests were downloaded by applicants and awardees and then emailed to SWTF Grant Program Staff. Now, applicants and awardees may complete and submit applications, reports, and reimbursement requests online through the portal.

Implementation Timeline

FY25 RWD and Tire Grants Applicants

Prospective applicants for the FY25 Recycling and Waste Diversion (RWD) and Tire Products (Tire) Grants must submit their applications through the portal. Applications submitted via email or through other means will not be accepted.

FY23 and FY24 RWD and Tire Grants Awardees

Starting August 15, 2024, existing awardees with active projects through the RWD and Tire Grants will use the portal to submit quarterly and final reports, and reimbursement requests. 

STAR Grant Applicants and Existing Awardees

Applicants of the Scrap Tire Abatement Reimbursement (STAR) Grant who have submitted applications prior to August 15, 2024, and existing awardees may continue to submit reporting via email to [email protected]. However, all new applications for FY25 projects submitted after August 15, 2024, and subsequent reporting must be submitted through the portal.

Portal Access and Resources

The first step to access the portal is to create a profile. Profile set-up instructions can be reviewed in the Download this pdf file. SWTF Grant Program Profile Set-up Guide .

There are three unique portals for each grant. Users cannot apply or submit reporting for more than one grant (RWD, Tire, or STAR) per portal. Instead, users will need to log in to the respective portal per grant. However, the same credentials used to develop the profile may be shared between grant portals.
