City of Fremantle
Coastal Charm
The City of Fremantle offers opportunities for the community and school groups to learn about waste-related topics including what to place in bins, what happens to waste, other services like Fremantle Containers for Change or learning a waste minimisation skill.
Workshops allow residents to learn new skills to reduce waste or hear from waste experts.
Some examples of workshops included bike maintenance, low waste living on a budget, sustainable goal setting, and composting.
To be kept in the loop on these or other City workshops, please visit What’s On or the City’s Facebook page.
