The EPA Bin Trim Equipment Rebates Program provides up to $6 million in funding, available on an ongoing basis until 30 June 2027 or until funding is expended.
The Rebates Program provides up to $50,000 as a maximum 50% co-contribution funding to eligible businesses that have a commercial and industrial waste service at a site in NSW, for equipment or technology that avoids, reduces, re-uses, or recycles waste.
