In its first year, 10 groups received £500 each and are thought to have supported 12,814 people across the city.
The funding went towards community-led environmental and wellbeing projects.
Colin Forshaw, production operations manager at Suez, said: “The Aberdeen Reuse Community Fund is a fantastic example of the circular economy in action.
“Not only are we reducing waste and offering affordable items to residents, we’re directly reinvesting in the people of Aberdeen.
“We’re excited to launch the 2025 round and continue supporting projects that make a lasting difference.”
Among last year’s recipients were projects focused on youth engagement, food growing, and beach pollution.
Not-for-profits, charities and schools can apply via the ActionFunder platform by Friday 01 August 2025.
Projects will be reviewed and selected by a panel of Suez representatives.
The funding is generated entirely from sales at the Hazlehead household waste recycling centre (HWRC).
The shop opened in July 2022 with funding from the Scottish Government’s Recycling Improvement Fund.
It is run by Suez as part of its waste and recycling contract with Aberdeen city council.
The waste management company said that the shop diverted just under 38,000 items from going to waste in 2024.
Aberdeen city council co-leader, councillor Ian Yuill, said: “The Reuse Shop at Hazlehead Recycling Centre has gone from strength to strength, breathing new life into unwanted household items.
“I look forward to seeing how this year’s community fund projects build on last year’s successes.”
Carolyn and Miles Davies, volunteers at funding recipient the Mounthooly Forest Garden, added: “We’re really pleased to be involved in the food forest at the Mounthooly Roundabout – an exciting transformation of green space where fresh food will grow, and community connections are being made.
“Seeing our grandson’s excitement as he explores, learns, and helps plant trees fills us with hope for a greener, healthier future for all.”
