The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is awarding grants to help fund litter control programs.

The state agency said Tuesday that 26 applicants have been approved for a total of $63,195 in grants. The money was awarded to state solid waste authorities, county commissions and municipalities.

It will help pay for the razing of dilapidated structures, fund community cleanups in places, and pay for trash receptacles and other supplies for litter control.
