Fund encourages new ideas on tackling waste

Bids are being invited from innovative schemes which can reduce household waste and increase recycling across Devon.

The Devon Authorities Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee (DAWRRC), which represents a partnership between the seven District Councils, Exeter City Council, Torbay Council and Devon County Council, is offering the Innovation Fund to stimulate new approaches to reducing, reusing or recycling household waste in Devon. From today (13 April) selected schemes have the opportunity to share in a £4,000 fund.

The fund is open to all, including individuals, businesses and community groups.

It aims to support new schemes which may contribute to addressing the challenges of reducing household waste, or reusing and recycling more.

The closing date for applications is Friday 8 May 2015.
