Waste & Sustainability

The 2025 AWBF continues the strong collaboration with Tasmanian Scouts, Cubs, and Joeys. Since 2013, these youth groups have played a vital role in supporting the Festival, from cleaning and recycling efforts to assisting more info & tickets at special events. In 2023, the Festival’s “Sort it out for the Scouts” program decreased waste to landfill by 28,000 litres, increased compostable streaming to 57,600 litres and reduced general waste by 21.54%. For 2025, Scouts will again be on hand to help with waste management, educating the public on proper waste sorting at designated stations. When on-site, “Sort it out for the Scouts” and help keep the Festival sustainable.
