WasteSMART Brisbane Awards

Recognising individuals and groups going above and beyond for our environment, helping to create a clean and green Brisbane

About the program

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 and is delivered in partnership with Brisbane Sustainability Agency.

Brisbane City Council is proud to announce the winners of the WasteSMART Brisbane Awards with an impressive number of nominations received this year, all of them an inspiration in reducing waste in our city.

Twelve winners were announced at the Lord Mayor’s Awards Ceremony at City Hall in November.
