Circular Economy Household Education Fund – Funded projects
The Circular Economy Household Education Fund (formerly the Recycling Victoria Household Education and Behaviour Change Fund) provides Councils and Alpine Resort Victoria (ARV) with financial support for delivering local campaigns.
The campaigns are to:
- introduce new glass household recycling services
- introduce new food and garden organics household services
- improve existing 4-stream household recycling services, and
- promote the recycling system to build community trust and pave the way for successful implementation of the new services when they are introduced.
Applicants must use the campaign materials – developed by Sustainability Victoria – which help educate Victorians to better manage and reduce their household waste.
