Waste and Sustainable Materials (WASM) - Litter Prevention Grants


The Litter Prevention Grants Program is for councils, community groups and other key stakeholders to deliver litter prevention projects and develop strategic plans to address litter in their local environments.

The NSW Government has opened the Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy 2041 Litter Prevention Grants Program with up to $10 million available. You need to follow these guidelines when applying for funding.

Funding is provided under three streams: 

  • Stream 1: Small-scale, on-ground projects (3 to12 months) 

  • Stream 2: Strategic development and capacity building (3 to 12 months)

  • Stream 3: Own It and Act strategic implementation (maximum 3 years)

All initiatives must contribute to reducing litter in NSW and engage the community in delivering local, regional or statewide litter prevention outcomes.
