Hi Larry,

One useful place to look is Alameda County, CA. The key is they have a 
lot of funding from a disposal surcharge, which was created through a 
ballot initiative (Measure D). Measure D created The Alameda Co. Source 
Reduction and Recycling Board in 1990. The board is responsible for 
programs in the area waste reduction, recycled product procurement, 
market development, and grants to non-profit organizations. There is a 
lot more information on their web site.
