WasteSorted Schools grants

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.

Next grant round dates:

• Round 1 will open Wednesday 31 January, and close 4pm Tuesday 12 March, 2024. 

• Round 2 will open Monday 3 June, and close 4pm Tuesday 6 August, 2024.

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

Please read the WSS grant guidelines below and email wastesortedschools@dwer.wa.gov.au for further information.

Please note schools are eligible for the WasteSorted schools grants program and not the WasteSorted Community Education Grants program.

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.
