Bega Valley Shire Council recognises the importance and significance of supporting volunteers, non-profit organisations, community groups and education providers in delivering programs and projects that have clear community benefit and align with Council's waste minimisation strategies.
The Clean Up Grant stream is a continuation of the Small Waste Grant and is intended to support organisations that actively assist in the clean-up of public areas or assist community members with complex needs, including hoarding behaviours.
