CASE STUDIES
At Kew High School in Melbourne’s inner east, there’s a waste revolution going on. The school’s Eco Crew have transformed how students and teachers dispose of their drink containers, and they’ve turned the results into cash through Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme.
Congratulations are in order for schools and students across Victoria. The 2025 entrants into the ResourceSmart Schools Awards have thoroughly impressed us.
Newstead Primary School was built in 1877, but with the help of Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme, it’s moving into the future.
