Are you a waste warrior?

Let’s work together to reduce waste, how can we inspire others to choose reusables over single use? 

Judging and prizes

Competition entries were shortlisted by a panel of staff from the Resource Recovery team with final winners judged by a panel of Councillors.

The 15 winners won a 'waste warrior starter kit' as well as having their artwork featured on a Council waste collection truck. Each entrant may have their artwork used in ongoing waste education campaigns and winners will be invited to a photo opportunity.

The new artwork will appear on the new fleet of trucks from October 2025.
See the winners artwork in the image gallery below.

The early learning centre or school from which the winners are from, were also offered a prize of a delivery of organic compost for their gardens.
