Clearwater are encouraging local communities to take action for waterways, with Melbourne Water’s ‘Bin it or Bring it Home’ Litter Prevention Toolkit — a resource designed to help reduce litter and protect the health of our waterways.
Launched last year, the toolkit was developed in partnership with Shannon Behaviour Change and BehaviourWorks Australia to address a critical gap in public understanding: the direct pathway between everyday urban littering and the pollution that harms our creeks and rivers.
The toolkit provides a suite of ready-to-use behaviour change resources, including decals, signage and campaign assets that can be easily adopted by councils, community groups and litter advocacy organisations. These materials are designed to shift everyday habits and build a culture of care for our waterways.
To help more groups put the toolkit into action, Melbourne Water is offering funding of up to $5,000 to support the printing, installation and advertising of toolkit assets.
