Grants for cleaning and waste businesses

A few, but most grants are open to businesses in many sectors, as long as the project fits the funder's aims. This page shows grants aimed at cleaning and waste businesses and general grants they can apply for.

It depends on the scheme. Common uses are new equipment, cutting energy use, training staff, taking on apprentices, digital tools, research and development, and exporting. Most grants won't pay for costs you've already spent before the grant is agreed.

Local grants are often a few hundred to a few thousand pounds. Larger national and innovation grants can be much more but are more competitive and usually need match funding.
