KAB’s programs

KAB WA is committed to the development of activities and targeted campaigns in order to educate different sectors of the community in litter prevention and environmental sustainability. KAB aims to change littering behaviours through developing programs, providing education and infrastructure, enforcement, and offering incentives and communication to the community through the way of grant money and media.

KAB’s programs include:

Schools/Community/Clubs:
