Marion and Mattapoisett are among four South Coast cities and towns awarded Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection recycling grants.

Mattapoisett is set to receive $5,400, while Marion is slated to receive $750. Fairhaven will get $12,000, and New Bedford will receive $84,500.

The grant money in all four communities will fund activities and equipment that promote best practices in waste reduction programs.

“These awards reflect the time and effort of the residents and officials who have made waste reuse and recycling a priority, and I commend the recipients for taking full advantage of this merit-based program,” Rep. Bill Straus, D-Mattapoisett, said in releasing the figures for his district.
