Green Industries SA’s $700,000 Regional Transport Subsidies program is open till Monday, 28 March 2022.

The program provides funding support for one way transport of kerbside recyclables from council areas to metropolitan Adelaide.

Regional councils who support continued recycling efforts and need assistance offsetting some of the extra costs associated with transporting collected kerbside recyclables are eligible to apply

The total funding amount available per council is $0.15 (excluding GST) per tonne per kilometre travelled associated with kerbside recycling for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

The program is intended to provide funding support for one way transport of kerbside recyclables from regional council areas to Metropolitan Adelaide, however interstate transport will be considered on a case-by-case basis if sufficient justification is provided.

Grant applications are open now and close on 28 March, 2022.
