Final round of WLRM Weighbridge Fund announced
The NSW EPA has released its fourth and final round of the Weighbridge Fund under the $465.7 million NSW Government Waste Less, Recycle More (WLRM) initiative.
The new grants provide a one-off opportunity for eligible facilities to accelerate the installation of a weighbridge in compliance with the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014 that requires any facility recovering, recycling, processing or storing waste and is liable for the waste levy in NSW to install a weighbridge and accurately record waste movements.
Applications close 14 November 2016. Landfills, transfer stations, processing and waste storage facilities can request funding to cover up to 50% of the total capital cost of buying and installing weighbridge infrastructure. The funding requested cannot exceed $75,000.
Waste and recycling facilities in the waste levy areas and licensed landfills outside of the waste levy area are eligible for the grants. Further eligibility criteria and other grant funding details are summarised in the table below:
