Community groups to get 'green' grant
COMMUNITY groups across the Capital are being offered a range of grants to encourage recycling.
The city council is offering the cash for groups and individuals with innovative ideas for dealing with waste.
Ranging from 50 to 2500, the grants have previously been received by a variety of projects, such as bag-for-life, community compost and scrap art schemes.
Real nappy schemes, swap shops and garden tool reuse projects have also been helped thanks to the Waste Action Grant programme.
Councillor Robert Aldridge, the city's environment leader, said: "Any group with an innovative idea for a project which will help our communities to reduce, reuse and recycle is urged to apply."
Grant applications should be submitted to the council's waste education officer via e-mail at wasteaction@edinburgh.gov.uk
