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 should also aim to educate and engage students and the school community in waste avoidance and recovery practices.

Grants of up to $5,500 (including GST) are available to currently accredited WasteSorted Schools. Only one application must be submitted per school.

Please read the WasteSorted Schools grant guidelines,  FAQ's and refer to the WSS grant application tips before starting your application.

Complete all sections and ensure you allow yourself enough time to review the application several days before the due date. Note that the closing time is 4pm!

Allow approximately 12 weeks from the closing date of applications for notification of funding approval.

For any queries about the guidelines, deadlines or questions in the application form, please email the WasteSorted Schools team on wastesortedschools@dwer.wa.gov.au or call 6364 6829.
