Grant funding to support donation education

Good Sammy is delighted to have received a $12,500 WasteSorted Community Education Grant.

The Waste Authority’s WasteSorted Community Education Grant program will fund WA businesses, local governments and community groups to help tackle waste and improve recycling. The projects promote reducing, reusing and recycling, and changing daily habits.

Good Sammy’s ‘A-Z Charitable donations guide & donation bin stickers’ project was one of 11 chosen by Waste Authority to share the $150,379 of WasteSorted Community Education Grant funding.

Good Sammy will develop an A-Z guide of household goods and how these goods are managed by charitable recyclers, guidance to local governments, a flyer with guidance for customers who bring in donations that are not able to be accepted and stickers for community collection points highlighting key messages around recycling, reuse and waste avoidance.

“The aim of our project is to raise community awareness and understanding of the quality and types of items charitable recyclers like Good Sammy can accept while also bringing attention to items that can be recycled elsewhere to stop them ending up in landfill,” Good Sammy Resource Recovery Coordinator Janelle Osenton said.
