The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) is offering $766,000 in grant funding to support regional and remote local governments comply with the e-waste to landfill ban regulations. The E-waste Regional Transportation Support Scheme (ERTSS) funding applications opened on Monday 13 January 2025 and are closing soon on Sunday 1 June 2025.
ERTTS funding provides a rebate for eligible regional and remote local governments towards the cost of e-waste transportation following implementation of the ban. The ban came into effect on 1 July 2024 and prohibits the disposal of regulated e-waste to landfill by e-waste service providers, significant business or public entities, and landfill operators; or those who collect, aggregate, sort, recycle, process, store and dispose of e-waste.
Due to the size of WA, the funding program was developed by DWER in response to the transport costs incurred by obligated regional and remote local governments when transporting e-waste for processing.
Eligible local governments can apply to receive up to 50% of costs incurred since 1 January 2025 for the transportation of e-waste to an appropriately licenced e-waste recycler or aggregation hub as detailed in the E-waste Regional Transportation Support Scheme (ERTSS): Guidelines.
Applications are open until 1 June 2025, via our SmartyGrants portal.
Further information is available from the ERTSS website or from the ERTSS Grant Officer on 6364 7498 or via ewaste@dwer.wa.gov.au.
