School Waste Education

Waste Audit and Action Plan Guide

Passionate young people and the educators who support and empower them are vital to sustainable futures.

Council’s Resource Recovery Education Officer can assist with provision of resources for school based waste audits and action plans to assist your school and students in reducing waste to landfill, reducing waste costs, and becoming a more sustainable school.

To assist with conducting audits at your school, council offers the option to borrow an auditing kit which contains equipment required to conduct an audit.
