Rebates for capital cost of small-scale, on-site recycling equipment or technology
The Bin Trim Rebates Program provides NSW businesses with free Bin Trim waste assessments and rebates to help cover costs of purchasing and installing small-scale, on-site recycling equipment or technology.
Rebates contribute to capital costs for equipment that avoids, reduces, reuses or recycles waste and are paid in two milestone payments (70% and 30%).
To be eligible applicants must:
- currently have a commercial and industrial (C&I) waste service at a site in NSW
- currently have a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) and employ one or more full-time employees in NSW
- and currently send C&I waste to landfill in NSW or process/recycle C&I waste generated by businesses
Businesses can include registered charities, not-for-profits, public entities (including schools and hospitals), and government organisations.
Additional eligibility requirements:
- the equipment or technology funded must be installed on the applicant's property and commence operation within 3 months of the applicant signing a Funding Deed
- equipment cannot have been ordered, procured, leased or installed before the rebate application is approved
- the equipment must divert or avoid NEW tonnes of waste going to landfill (with specific rebate thresholds by waste type)
- purchased equipment must be operated and maintained for the term of the Funding Deed
- leased equipment must be leased, operated and maintained for a minimum of 12 months from the date of installation
- co-contribution from the business must be a minimum 50% of the cost to purchase or lease the equipment and must be monetary (not in-kind)
Applicants must complete a Bin Trim waste assessment and the My Rebate Calculator via the Bin Trim app as part of the application process.
