Action Plan

Sustainable Schools and Howick Local Board are seeking local schools who would like to participate in a waste minimisation project. This project is a partnership to support your schools reduce waste to landfill by 40% using Auckland Council’s waste hierarchy to achieve our bold goal of zero waste by 2040.

Participating schools will have access to grants to procure materials, equipment, or resources necessary to implement their action plans, in collaboration with a community waste coordinator.

Up to $1,000 per new school, or if school is continuing from the past-year project/s up to $500.

Mentoring programme – available for schools involved in the 2023/2024 project, who have reduced your waste by 40% or more, have a chance to share your learning with a new school – please apply to us why you should be considered as a mentoring school (funding available).

KEY DATES:
