Have an idea or project that could help reduce waste in our district?
The Zero Waste Fund is here to support local people, businesses, schools, organisations and mana whenua who are making a difference. Whether it's helping people reduce, reuse, repair, repurpose or rethink resources, we're keen to support initiatives that keep valuable materials out of landfill and move us closer to our Zero Waste 2040 goal.
Funding is available for new waste minimisation projects and programmes that create positive change in our community.
The fund is financed through the national waste disposal levy, which is paid on every tonne of waste sent to landfill and administered by local councils.
Applications are now open NPDC Zero Waste Fund
The Zero Waste Fund is part of Te Ringa Mohimohi Taiao (the caring hand toward nature), brings together our four community environmental funds under one umbrella Te Ringa Mohimohi Taiao – Community Environmental Funds
