Local charities and not for profit community organisations do amazing work in our community, and Council wants to support you.

On 24 August, Council adopted the Financial Assistance for Charitable and Not for Profit Community Organisations for Waste Disposal at Kimbriki Policy.

Council will now reimburse the waste charges paid at Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre to eligible registered charitable organisations or not for profit community organisations.

Steps

1. Ensure you hold a Community Service Exemption

• Apply for a Community Service Exemption issued by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under Clause 21 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014, which is valid on the date of disposal. This exemption means Kimbriki does not have to charge the NSW tax levy on landfill which is part of the gate fee.  This means we can support more organisations.
• Northern Beaches Council will recompense the remainder of the waste charges (ie excluding the NSW tax levy) for an amount up to $2,000/registered charitable organisation or not for profit community organisations/financial year within the allocated budget for the period. 

2. Send bank details to Council

• If Council does not hold your organisations bank account details on file, you will also need to complete a New Vendor Form (excel) (you only need to do this once)
• Email your completed new vendor form to wasteservices@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au

3. Dispose of your waste at Kimbriki

• Show your Community Service Exemption to the weighbridge attendant. Follow the directions of staff.
• Pay the gate fees for tipping - make sure you keep your receipt.

4. Request reimbursement from Council

Email the following to WasteServices@northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au.

• A letter (on your organisation’s letterhead) requesting the reimbursement of the paid tip fees, plus a statement that disposed material came from the Northern Beaches LGA
• A copy of your EPA Waste Levy Exemption
• A copy of your  waste charge receipt from Kimbriki for the waste disposal.

5. Reimbursement

• Approved fee reimbursements will be transferred directly into your organisation’s nominated bank account. This may take up to two weeks.
