Cumbria Waste Management Environment Trust

About Cumbria Waste Management Environment Trust

Cumbria Waste Management Environment Trust funds local environmental and community improvement projects in the areas around its landfill sites, with a strong emphasis on tangible place-based benefits for nearby residents. It typically supports parish councils, community groups, and other nonprofits seeking to improve shared spaces such as play areas, village halls, access facilities, and energy-saving infrastructure. The trust is distinctive in that its grants are tied to the Landfill Communities Fund, so eligibility is tightly linked to geography and to projects that create visible community or environmental benefit.
