Used Oil Recycling and Collection

Funding for Used Motor Oil Recycling and WALGA Prefered Supplier

Funding for Used Oil Collection & Recycling
The Waste Authority has allocated funding of $145,000 a year for two years to assist Local Governments with used motor oil recycling. The funding Program finishes on 21 November 2010, no funds will be provided after that date.  Therefore funding will be allocated in three six month periods (Jan – June 2009, Jul – Dec 2009, Jan – June 2010) and one three month period (Jul – Sept 2010). Funding will vary based upon a geographical location weighting, the amount of used oil collected and the number of Local Governments who apply.  In order to access funding, Local Governments will need to:

• Use the WALGA appointed Preferred Supplier;
• Keep documentation relating to the amount and cost of used oil collected; and
• Estimate the source of used oil (public, commercial or Local Government)

More information on accessing the funding will be provided in January 2009 and an application form for Period 1 will be distributed in May 2009. For enquiries please contact Judy Scott on 9213 2086 or email jscott@walga.asn.au or Bienne Argent on 9213 2069 or email bargent@walga.asn.au
