(WKYT) – Franklin County’s “Trash for Cash” applications will go live in January, giving organizations the opportunity to earn money by cleaning up their community.
The applications will launch at 10 a.m. on Jan. 25 and will close at 10 a.m. on Feb. 5.
Participants must be a Frankfort-based school or nonprofit organization, cannot have already participated in the 2027 program, consent to picking up 15 miles of litter on a Saturday in 2026 and provide a W9 form upon selection.
Organizations earn $100 per mile of picked up trash, according to Franklin County Solid Waste Management. 20 groups total will be selected and will be chosen based on a lottery system.
