INCREASE III Programmes 2008 - 2011

The INCREASE III programme 2008 - 2011 builds on the success of the two previous INCREASE programmes from 2004 - 2008. The Scottish Government have allocated £7.5 million to this Programme over the three year funding period 2008-11. This programme is earmarked to support not-for-profit community based organisations to develop local solutions to increase tonnage diversion and waste prevention strategies

What is the funding for?

To help the community deliver initiatives which compliment existing recycling, reuse and composting services as well as help the sector to innovate new services and programmes particularly in the area of waste prevention. All of which are pivotal to the realisation of the Zero Waste ambition set out by the current Government so the proposed programme will to a great extent aim to build on these areas of expertise and support their development and delivery. The projects should:
* Move sector away from a reliance on grant funding.
* Develop financially sustainable community recycling models.
* Increase capacity of individual organisations to develop their ideas.
* Allow for the implementation of new and innovative recycling services.
* Consistent with the delivery of a Zero Waste Scotland.
* Move towards sustainable waste management activities.

INCREASE III comprises the strands below.
