LCC Recycling Grants
Community groups and organisations across Leicestershire are being urged to apply for a new grant to help tackle household waste and boost recycling.
Leicestershire County Council is launching its SHIRE Recycling Grants on Monday, 11 September, for eligible organisations and community based projects to deliver local waste prevention, recycling or composting activities.
Grants of up to £3,000 will be available through the scheme, which has two rounds of funding, with applications for the first round closing on Tuesday, 31 October.
Blake Pain, cabinet member for waste, said: “We want organisations to come forward to make a difference in their community.
“The grant will hopefully help to reduce household waste, divert waste from disposal and optimise levels of recycling, reuse and composting in a cost effective way, while bringing residents and communities together.”
Grants will be available for any not for profit:
Projects could include ideas such as Give and Take events, community food waste cafés, bag for life projects, community composting projects and second hand toy libraries.
The second round will have a closing date of Wednesday, 31 January, 2018.
