Grants

The Waste Wise Schools Program, funded by the Waste Management and Recycling Account through the State government's 'Towards Zero Waste' vision, is offering grants to Participating Waste Wise Schools for the development of waste minimisation projects. There are three consecutive grants available of $2,000, $5,000 and $10,000. These funds can be used to assist the school in reducing waste to landfill and in educating the whole school community about sustainable waste practices.

Schools must complete the Waste Wise full day professional learning workshop/external module, a waste audit, a waste policy and a waste plan to be eligible to apply for the first grant. Additional criteria are required for the subsequent grants and this information is available in the criteria document below.
