WasteSMART Brisbane Awards
Recognising individuals and groups going above and beyond for our environment, helping to make Brisbane a clean and sustainable city.
About the program
Brisbane City Council’s WasteSMART Brisbane Awards recognise the achievements of residents, community groups, schools, kindergartens and businesses going above and beyond to help make Brisbane a clean and sustainable city.
The WasteSMART Brisbane Awards began in 2020 to align with Council’s Waste Smart strategy for the city. Each year, Council partners with Brisbane Sustainability Agency to deliver the annual awards, culminating in an Awards Ceremony and celebration at City Hall in November.
Nominations have now closed but voting for the People’s Choice Award will commence Monday 30 September, so watch this space to meet all the finalists for 2024.
The Awards
This year there are 11 award categories, 12 awards and a prize pool worth over $4000.
With two new categories introduced, including the Circular Threads Award and the Hospitality & Tourism Award, there are even more ways to be recognised for your vital work to reduce waste. Click here to see all the Award categories for 2024.
