Description
The WasteSorted Community Education Grants program is a State Government initiative administered by the Waste Authority.
WasteSorted Community Education Grants provide funding of up to $25,000 per project to improve waste behaviour in ways that support the aims of the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 (waste strategy).
The waste strategy outlines objectives to avoid waste, reuse or recover more value and resources from waste, and protect the environment. Integral to this is supporting behaviour change work through communication, education, and the development of better-practice systems and processes.
