Green organisations can apply for the city council cash to support waste-related community projects aimed at reducing, reusing and recycling, under the Waste Action Grant scheme.

Environment vice-convener Councillor Jim Orr said: “The Waste Action Grant scheme is an excellent way to inspire community groups to become more environmentally aware and also to support ongoing initiatives.

“Several excellent projects have already benefited from this programme and I would urge any group to apply for a slice of the funding.”
