Bring Reuse & Grant Funding to Your Oregon School District

Single-use foodware doesn’t have to be the norm in Oregon schools.

Through the ODEQ MIRROR (Materials Impact Reduction and Reuse) Grant, school districts across the state can access funding to reduce waste and build long-term reuse infrastructure.

Let's Talk

About

The MIRROR Grant, administered by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, funds projects that reduce the environmental impacts of packaging, paper, and food serviceware—especially initiatives that replace single-use products with reusable systems.

Key details:

✔️ Open to school districts statewide

✔️ Funding may support equipment, infrastructure, operations, staffing, and education

✔️ Projects must demonstrate measurable waste reduction and environmental impact

Bold Reuse Support Criteria

While the MIRROR grant is open to any eligible applicant in Oregon, Bold Reuse is currently focusing our hands-on program and grant support on high-volume school districts located within 50 miles of:

Portland
Salem
Eugene
Bend
Grants Pass

This allows us to ensure strong operational outcomes, efficient logistics, and successful long-term reuse programs.

If your district is outside these regions, you may still apply independently for the MIRROR grant — and we’re happy to share high-level guidance during the webinar.
