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.
