About the Program

Everyday, some 3,000 tonnes of solid waste are generated in south-east Queensland alone. Most of this waste is sent to the landfill, contaminating much valued land.

Thanks for support from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC), the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association (NICA) has launched the Sunshine Coast Waste Wise Schools Initiative.

As part of the broader Noosa Stormwater and Waste Wise Education Program, the Waste Wise Schools Initiative helps schools Reduce, Reuse and Recycle waste. The aim is to minimize the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
