More than $37,000 in grants for Waste Wise Schools across Western Australia
Applications now open for next round of Waste Wise School grants
Nine Western Australian schools will share more than $37,000 for projects to reduce waste disposed to landfill.
Environment Minister Amber-Jade Sanderson today announced recipients of the latest Waste Wise Schools grants.
The grants will be used for a range of projects including new recycling and waste sorting systems in classrooms, promoting waste-free lunches and reducing food waste by building chicken pens and compost systems.
The Waste Wise School program is funded by the McGowan Government through the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Account, administered by the Waste Authority. To date, more than 197,000 students attend the 235 accredited Waste Wise Schools across WA.
