Waste Education
Waste education helps people understand what happens to their waste and why it matters. From recycling and food scraps to plastics, landfill and beyond, our education programs encourage practical actions that reduce waste, improve recycling and support a more sustainable future.
Council is currently refreshing its waste education program to provide engaging, practical learning experiences that respond to the needs of our community. We welcome expressions of interest from schools, early childhood services, community groups, businesses and organisations interested in learning more about waste, recycling and sustainable resource recovery.
Whether you're looking to support classroom learning, host a community presentation or explore waste reduction initiatives within your organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
We welcome enquiries from:
- Early childhood education and care services
- Primary and secondary schools
- Community groups and clubs
- Businesses and workplaces
- Sporting organisations
- Not-for-profit organisations
- Other interested community groups
