She is calling for Cootamundra electorate’s small and medium sized businesses to register for a free Environment Protection Authority Bin Trim waste assessment to determine if their businesses are eligible for the rebate.
“This program is a great way for local businesses to save money and reduce the amount of waste they send to landfill,” Ms Hodgkinson said.
Katrina said up to $50,000 (instead of $25,000) is now available through the Bin Trim rebate for each SME in NSW which wanted to improve its recycling rates.
To be eligible for the rebate, an SME must undertake a free waste assessment by an approved Environment Protection Authority assessor and develop a waste-reduction action plan.
If the assessment concludes that recycling equipment will help divert more waste from landfill, the SME can then apply for a rebate to cover half its capital costs of acquiring the small scale recycling equipment.
