WasteSorted Schools grants

In 2022 the WasteSorted Schools grants replaced the Waste Wise Schools grants program.

WasteSorted Schools grants provide funding for schools to set up infrastructure and initiatives that avoid and recover school waste. Funding is available for projects that divert waste from landfill, such as paper and cardboard, food waste, single-use packaging and recycling. These projects aim to educate and engage students and the school community in waste avoidance and recovery practices. Grants of up to $5,500 are available. All accredited WasteSorted Schools are eligible to apply.

• The next grant round will open Tuesday 18 July and will close at 12 pm Tuesday 29 August 2023.

• Please note, the WasteSorted - Community Education grant round are also open in July. Schools are not eligible for this program (more information)

Applications must be completed and submitted through the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation’s SmartyGrants portal. 

Applications can only be submitted while the grant round is open and must be received before the deadline. All grants are subject to funding availability.

For more information, please contact the WasteSorted Schools program on 6364 6696, 6364 7056 or wastesortedschools@dwer.wa.gov.au

WasteSorted Schools, formerly Waste Wise Schools, is a program of the Waste Authority which is funded through a levy on waste to landfill as part of the Waste Strategy 2030.
