COVID Recovery Funding for Scotland’s Waste Facilities
Zero Waste Scotland and the Scottish Government are offering capital funding to allow licensed operators of waste management facilities in Scotland to implement the necessary infrastructure changes to their sites in response to coronavirus (COVID-19).

Eligible cost items include (but are not limited to) adaptations to:
Reception, storage, sorting and onward movement of materials and products.
Sorting lines and cabins.
Site plant including modifications and upgrades.
Traffic and pedestrian management.
