2026 Event Waste Station Application

2025/2026 Event Waste Station Program Expression Of Interest.

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is proud to run our Waste Station program at major events in partnership with local sporting clubs and community groups. Volunteers from local groups will help sort the waste and collect any eligible 10c containers to cash in to raise funds for their clubs and causes.

This program is a win-win-win:
✔ Less waste to landfill
✔ More containers recycled
✔ Local groups benefit financially

Community Groups can apply for upcoming City events using the form below. Simply select the events you wish to put an EOI in for.
