Community Litter Grants - Open now

The annual community litter grants are open.  

View the Minister for Environment media statement here.

Grants of up to $10,000 are available for initiatives that address litter. The grants provide financial assistance for action and education on litter prevention with a total of $60,000 available. 

KABC only funds projects that address litter management.

Litter is items on the ground, not in a bin.

Litter Grants are for litter projects, not waste or recycling projects.

What is the difference between litter and waste?

Litter is something that people discard on the ground and is not in its right place. Think of plastic in the waterways, cigarette butts or discarded food and drink containers.

Waste is what is put into the bin and that’s all about resource recovery through recycling and reusing, and through sorting unwanted items into the right bin.
