Waste Minimisation Seed Fund – Organics Diversion (no longer available)

Support was available through this fund for the development of projects which diverted organic waste from landfill.

About this fund

When organic waste breaks down in landfill it releases methane, a harmful greenhouse gas which contributes to climate change.

Almost 60% of the kerbside waste going to the Southern Landfill is organic, so we can make a significant difference by supporting projects which divert organic waste from the landfill. 

This fund closed in July 2024.
