Melbourne Regional Landfill – Community Benefit Fund
Cleanaway’s $50,000 Community Benefit Fund was launched in 2019 and is provided annually to fund sustainability projects that support environmental regeneration, recycling programs and community well-being.
We know that great communities are connected to each other and the environment that they live in. The biggest difference we can make is to empower local communities to take care of their environment, encourage resource recovery and promote sustainability.
Round 5 of Cleanaway’s annual $50,000 MRL Community Benefit Fund was launched in February 2024. Now in its fifth year, our grants program has provided $250,000 of funding to diverse community groups across the west of Melbourne, enabling welfare support, community health and connectivity and sports participation.
