Waste innovators can snap up grants of up to $50,000 from Auckland Council’s ‘Zero Waste’ fund – and we’re running a workshop to help them do it.
The Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund (WMIF) opens on 1 October, with a special workshop running on 7 October to help groups and individuals make great applications.
“Sometimes it’s hard to know what sort of information to provide to get the best buy in for your ideas, and meet the criteria of the fund.
“If you’ve got an exciting waste reduction project, come along to this workshop and find out how to put together an application that makes the most of this funding opportunity,” says Solid Waste Manager Ian Stupple.
WMIF is a regional fund, set up in April this year to seed new ideas that help to minimise waste and reduce waste to landfill.
Projects that have already received assistance from the fund include:
- Resource Recovery Centre feasibility studies for locations in communities throughout the region
- School projects with waste minimisation goals
- Businesses and large organisations needing support for recycling and organic waste solutions
- Marae-based waste minimisation initiatives
The workshop will be held at the Fickling Centre, 546 Mt Albert Rd, Three Kings from 7-8.30pm.
