Enrolling as an Environmental Body

While the majority of funding is provided by the funding bodies found on the above tool, in some cases, an organisation is able to receive funds directly from a Landfill Operator. If this is the case, you will need to enrol your organisation with us. You can do this on the link below by registering a new Environmental Body, however, if you are unsure, please contact us to find out if your organisation need to enrol.
