The Recycling Modernisation Fund (RMF) has today opened a new grant round for Western Australia with up to $6 million available to local government for improvements in plastic, tyre, paper and cardboard recycling.

Communities throughout remote and regional WA will benefit from grants of up to $1 million to boost council recycling capacity.

“Greater access to recycling services is crucial to responding to the waste management challenges facing Western Australia’s remote and regional communities,” said WA Environment Minister, Matthew Swinbourn.

“Essential infrastructure is the foundation for a circular economy, where any product which is no longer useful for its original purpose is reused, recycled or remanufactured.

“Investments which improve resource recovery or more economical collection and separation of materials will be considered for grants.
