Reducing waste one change at a time
Explore Councils by state
Up to 20 lucky City of Fremantle residents are being given the opportunity to register for free for an eight-week online waste education course designed to help make positive changes to reduce waste at home.
Starting 3 April, the One Change at a Time course covers how to monitor and audit waste, change habits and shift mindsets on different food groups, cooking, cleaning products and how to measure success.
By signing up, participants will also get access to discounts to Sustainable Community Club partners including Kakulas Sister, Eco Refill Station and Green Bars.
The program is a trial and participants will be asked to complete bin audits as well as a survey.
The course is valued at $100 per individual or $150 per household.

The pursuit of the ultimate goal of zero waste is one of the ten One Planet principles outlined in the City of Fremantle’s One Planet Framework.
Fremantle Council also recently endorsed a new City of Fremantle Waste Plan that sets waste management priorities and targets for the next five years.
The plan aligns with the state government’s Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy, which includes targets of a 10 per cent reduction in Municipal Solid Waste generation, a 70 per cent resource recovery rate and zero littering and illegal dumping by 2030.
