Green light for waste reduction projects

Published 28 Nov 2022

The Kāpiti Coast District Council is delighted to announce the 2022 Waste Levy Grant recipients for the Community Projects and Business Waste Reduction categories.  

The Waste Levy Grants supports waste minimisation projects in the community, focusing on community projects, seed funding, and business waste reduction. 

Seven community and business projects across the two categories have been awarded $32,824 for a range of projects in the latest round. 

These include establishing a worm farm in a preschool, setting up regular repair café events in Raumati South, and expanding food waste collection and processing initiatives. 

Council Waste Projects Manager Robbie Stillwell says projects of all sizes can have an impact on reducing the volume of waste going to landfill, in turn lowering landfill emissions.  

“We are always impressed with the applications we receive and love seeing the passion the community has for reducing waste,” Mr Stillwell says.  

“Some great schemes will be kicking off all around the Kāpiti Coast, and some established ones taking exciting steps forward. Alongside the many existing projects and initiatives across Kāpiti, all of them will make an important contribution.” 

The 2022/23 recipients for the Community Projects and Business Waste Reduction categories are:
