Community Waste Minimisation Fund
Do you have a great idea that will help move our community towards zero waste?
You might be eligible for funding through the Community Waste Minimisation Fund. Inspire us with your great idea to rethink/redesign, reduce, reuse/repurpose. Projects must achieve the following objectives:
- Waste Reduction – Reducing waste at source and/or
- Resource Recovery – Diverting waste from landfill
The aim is to support initiatives that complement and enhance existing programmes, address gaps, create new opportunities, and encourage community participation in waste minimisation.
The 2026-2027 Community Waste Minimisation Fund Will be open between 28 September and 20 October 2026.
The Community Waste Minimisation Fund is administered by WasteNet. See the documents below for more information.
