The company, which operates the Energy Recovery Facility (ERF), in Fengate, with Peterborough City Council, has set up the Viridor in Peterborough (ViP) Community Benefit Fund.
It has funding of £20,000 a year plus with an additional top-up of £1 for every non-council tonne of waste brought to the Fengate centre.
Any community led organisation in the Peterborough administrative area will be eligible to apply for funding and there is an easy-to-use application guide online.
Paul Rowland, regional manager for Viridor, said: “I encourage any local community projects to investigate whether they will be eligible for support from the fund.”
