Community Waste Diversion Funding from MMSB

The Multi-Materials Stewardship Board’s Community Waste Diversion Fund provides funding to Municipalities, Local Service Districts and Community Governments for initiatives that foster solid waste diversion in Newfoundland and Labrador. Communities are eligible to apply for a non-repayable maximum contribution of $10,000 per project – MMSB has a $75,000 budget for this program for the 2016-17 year.

The deadline for proposals is 12:00p.m on May 30, 2016.

Proposals will be assessed based on the following principles:

  • Potential impact on waste diversion (reduce, reuse, or recycle) – demonstrates greatest waste diversion potential (relative to the size of the community).
  • Uniqueness – demonstrates innovation. Communities are encouraged to explore unique initiatives that divert waste streams from the landfill.
  • Sustainability – demonstrates value to the community and potential to become a continued service or program (i.e. longer than one year).

The MMSB looks forward to working with communities across the province and providing financial support as these exciting new projects are implemented to help divert waste from our landfills.

Examples of eligible projects and guidelines for developing a proposal are attached in the PDF below (or click here to download).
