The Charitable Recyclers Reimbursement Program provides funding to reimburse waste levy payments made by eligible charitable recycling entities who were unable to use their existing Certificate of Exempt Waste under section 28 of the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011.

The Charitable Recyclers Reimbursement Program will continue as a rolling, ongoing program.

The Program is designed to reimburse the waste levy liability incurred by eligible charitable recycling entities unable to use their existing exemption under section 28 of the Act.

The Program will continue to be delivered to reimburse eligible levy charges incurred by applicants for the previous quarter. Applications are to be made at the conclusion of each quarter (the relevant period) to allow applicants to collect all necessary evidence relating to the levy liability for that quarter (such as invoices from waste services providers).

Who can apply?

To be eligible to apply for reimbursement under the Program, an applicant must be a charitable recycling entity with an approved Certificate of Exempt Waste under section 28 of the Act. Applications must be made by the legal entity that holds the Certificate of Exempt Waste.
