What’s on at the ReThink Waste stall?

Drop by our table to explore the ReThink Waste School Program, from incursions to audits. Our program is free, curriculum‑aligned and designed specifically for Tasmanian schools. The waste audit toolkit and action plan help schools follow the waste hierarchy in practice: Avoid, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Data from a simple school waste audit shows what is really going into bins and where to focus effort for the biggest impact. 

At the Tasmanian Educational Leaders Conference, you can meet the Regional Engagement Officers who’ll provide on the ground support for schools right across Tasmania.

We can’t wait talk trash with you, answer all those tricky waste questions, and show you how you can take action today to Be a Good Sort.

Supported by the Tasmanian Government through the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Recovery Board.
