Funding for the grant is sourced entirely from the landfill levy, returning funds back to the community. These funds are being reinvested into important resource and recovery projects across the state to improve the reuse, repair, collection, sorting, processing, recycling and remanufacturing of materials that might otherwise be wasted in landfills.
