Illustration for Waste Minimisation Act 2008

If a territorial authority's waste management and minimisation plan allows it, you can get a grant or some money from them to help with waste management and minimisation. The territorial authority can give you this money on any conditions they think are suitable, such as not having to pay interest on the money they give you. You can get this money if you are a person, organisation, group, or a body of people trying to promote or achieve waste management and minimisation, and the territorial authority has agreed to give you the grant in their plan.
