Financial Assistance for the Disposal of Waste in Port Stephens
Last modified: November 10, 2009 - 11:26 AM
The Financial Assistance Program allows charitable, not for profit and benevolent organisations to dispose of waste at no cost to the organisation.
Organisations wishing to apply for financial assistance for waste disposal must meet the following criteria:
- Organisations must be registered as a charitable, not for profit, or a benevolent organisation. Supporting documentation is required.
- Schools which conduct volunteer working bees may be approved for one off waste disposal vouchers.
- Organisations must apply for an exemption of the NSW waste levy from the NSW Dept of Environment & Conservation and supply this information to Council for use in determining requests for assistance.
- The waste generated by the organisation for disposal must be generated by a community service and that service must be considered a bona fide function of Council.
- Organisations are required to reduce waste to landfill and meet waste recovery targets by sorting reclyclable and non recyclable items and by adopting procedures to reduce the amount of waste they generate or receive.
The following groups are not eligible to apply:
- Privately funded entities;
- Retirement Villages; and
- Schools where the purpose is NOT an organised working bee.
If your Organisation fits within these guidelines, complete the application form as attached, including relevant documentation and return, by mail to:
Waste Services
Port Stephens Council
PO Box 42
RAYMOND TERRACE NSW 2324
We hope to be of assistance to your organisation.
