The Shire is pleased to announce that, in partnership with local community groups and businesses, we have secured funding from the Waste Authority of Western Australia to deliver a range of practical waste minimisation and resource recovery activities throughout 2027.
Working alongside the Bridgetown Hub, Ashbil Community Garden, Greenbushes Community Garden, Cleanaway and local businesses, the project will provide opportunities for the community to learn new skills, reduce waste and give everyday items a second life.
Activities planned throughout the year will include clothing repair and upcycling workshops, food and garden organics education, recycling awareness campaigns, reuse and repair showcases, and community events that encourage waste-wise living.
We have a jam-packed year planned and look forward to sharing event details as they are released. Follow our project partners and keep an eye on Shire communications for upcoming opportunities to get involved.
Don't forget to support the Repair Café delivered by Transition Bridgetown. Established through a previous WasteSorted funding round in 2025, it continues to provide a place where community members can repair household items, learn new skills and connect with like-minded people.
