A composting service in Aberdeen, reusing building materials in Lanarkshire and diverting white goods from landfill in Dundee are among the successful applicants from the 'INCREASE III' fund.

This brings the value of successful applications to the fund up to £4.7m, enabling waste to be dealt with creatively at community level.
Environment Secretary Richard Lochhead said: "The latest round of successful projects shows that the community sector is continuing to play a significant role in dealing with waste in a sensible and imaginative way.
"A number of today's successful applications epitomise the spirit which we want to see from Scotland's communities in making this country a cleaner, greener place."
Mr Lochhead said everyone must play their part in reducing waste and work together to achieve a Zero Waste Scotland.
