Waste audit incursion
Conducting a waste audit is a necessary step to becoming an accredited WasteSorted School.
This fun and informative incursion helps you find out the types and amount of waste your school produces. The data collected can be used to prioritise and improve existing waste projects.
A waste audit is held after lunch and takes 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. WasteSorted Schools recommends this incursion for 30 students in Year 3 and up.
Schools in the Perth metro area can contact WasteSorted Schools to book an incursion. There is local support availabe in some regional areas, please contact the team to find out what is available to you.

WasteSorted race incursion
Accredited WasteSorted Schools are loving the WasteSorted Race incursion to help students learn the importance of sorting their waste. Tailored to your school’s waste system, this 30-minute incursion will cover:
- why sorting waste is important
- the different coloured bins waste is sorted into at home and school
- a practical application of waste sorting with a fun interactive race.
Many schools book our Perth incursion officers to run multiple classes through this engaging activity. Suitable for primary students.
Visual bin audits and school waste assessments
Accredited WasteSorted Schools are saving money by improving their waste systems.
Our visual bin audit and school waste assessment tools help schools to assess their waste services by identifying the type and number of bins available and where services can be adjusted. Schools find it helpful to book an incursion officer to help use these new tools for the first time.
An incursion officer is available in Perth metro areas. Regional schools can also contact WasteSorted Schools for phone or online support to use this resource.
