Read about our Programs

Adopt-a-Spot is an anti-litter program that engages volunteers (individuals, community groups, business groups) to undertake coordinated litter clean-ups of designated sites in their communities. Sites include but are not limited to parks, waterways, bush trails, roadsides, beaches and wetlands.

Participants are provided with tools and support, including insurance, and receive an adoption certificate to acknowledge their commitment.

The Keep Australia Beautiful Council's annual Tidy Towns Sustainable Communities Awards are for regional and remote communities. There are nine categories that communities can enter to showcase their projects. Each award has prize money and kudos, with the overall State Winner going on to represent WA in the National Tidy Towns Awards.

Entering the awards is your opportunity to celebrate the achievement of your community, and show how you are protecting and enhancing your environment. By working together, you are building a sustainable community, making it an amazing place to live and visit. 

Be part of the Litter Report Scheme by registering to become a litter reporter. 

Throwing or dropping litter, even unintentionally, is an offence under the Litter Act 1979. Dumping rubbish of any kind on any land not specified as a waste facility is also considered littering and attracts the same penalties under the Litter Act.

People in Western Australia can help call litterers to account by reporting littering or dumping of matter from a vehicle once registered with the Litter Reporter Scheme.

Clean Schools is an educational program that aims at changing the littering behaviour of students through a whole school approach to litter prevention and a range of resources to help. 

Many schools experience difficulties managing litter and recognise the importance of a clean and healthy environment. Educating students about the effects of litter and influencing beliefs and attitudes are key steps towards behaviour change and litter reduction in the community as a whole.

Community Litter 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.
