WasteSMART Brisbane Awards
Recognising individuals and groups going above and beyond to help make Brisbane a clean, green and sustainable city.
Brisbane City Council developed the WasteSMART Brisbane Awards to champion the achievements of residents, communities and businesses who undertake ‘waste smart’ activities and practices to create a clean and green Brisbane. This awards program was introduced in 2020 to align with Council’s Waste Smart strategy for the city. Brisbane Sustainability Agency has partnered to deliver the awards.
This year there are nine award categories including a new All-Star Award recognising long-term commitment to waste prevention and reduction, and 12 awards, with a prize pool worth over $4,000.
The finalists will be judged by a panel, except the People's Choice WasteSMART Award which is voted on by the public.
