Organisations can now apply for up to $20,000 to raise awareness about recycling beverage containers away from home.

The Keep Australia Beautiful Beverage Container Recycling Program has been offering grants since 2009 due to funding from The Coca-Cola Foundation (CCF) and Coca-Cola South Pacific (CCSP).

The companies have distributed over $1.6 million to support community recycling projects throughout Australia.

This year, over $440,000 in grant funds is available, and groups and organisations are able to apply if they can prove that their project focuses on recycling beverage containers away from home, educates the public, or improves recycling and waste management infrastructure.

Applications close 1 July, and applicants will be notified by 1 August.
