The City of Bunbury offers a wide range of free educational services, designed to complement our Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (WARR) initiatives.
We aim to have our City by the sea recognised as a leader in the WARR on waste; to become a sustainable, low-waste, circular economy in which human health and the environment are protected from the impacts of waste.
Check out the resources below to find out more about our programs and for tips to live more sustainably.
Adopt-a-Spot
The City of Bunbury has partnered with the Keep Australia Beautiful (KABC) in support of the Adopt-a-Spot program.
Do you feel frustrated by seeing litter lying around your street, park or local beach? Then why not adopt that spot and volunteer to help keep your spot litter-free.
Individuals, community groups, businesses or school communities can volunteer with the Adopt-a-Spot program and contribute to a cleaner environment.
You receive free resources to help, insurance cover if you need it and an Adoption Certificate.

BYO Containers Program
The City is now a supporter of the BYO Containers program, which aims to connect local food outlets to environmentally conscious consumers.
The program helps reduce single-use plastics by normalising the use of reusable containers for takeaway food, butchers and delicatessens. This growing Australia-wide movement allows food outlets and their customers to help reduce the waste generated by takeaway and food purchases.
To celebrate the program the local businesses who sign up to the program will received 20 x 800ml stainless steel containers to give to their regular customers.
For more information on the program go to: BYO Containers – Trashless Takeaway, Butchers, Groceries, Delicatessens
