Business recycling equipment rebate

Overview

The Bin Trim Rebates program assists eligible NSW businesses (including facility managers and recyclers) with rebates of between $1000 and $50,000 covering up to 50% of the cost of buying recycling equipment. 

Equipment includes:

• balers 
• compactors
• glass crushing machines
• commercial worm farms
• composters
• shredders
• expanded polystyrene (EPS) compaction equipment
• recycling bins and bin equipment
• public place recycling bins if the material is collected under a commercial and industrial contract
• other (check with your assessor).

You will need to contact a Bin Trim assessor to get a free waste assessment. The Bin Trim assessor can determine whether your business is eligible for a rebate based on the contents of your waste bin.
