BE A GREATSORT IN CARNARVON 

The Shire of Carnarvon is committed to provide information through community education and resources to encourage our community to Be a GreatSort.  Here, you'll find a wealth of information and resources tailored specifically to the Carnarvon community. Our campaign encourages you to embrace the GREAT way to manage waste:

  • G - Gift items to charity, swap, or sell
  • R - Recycle - Cans and Plastic Bottles 
  • E - Earth-cycle food scraps and garden waste
  • A - Avoid excess packaging and food waste
  • T - Take to drop-off points

Thanks to funding from the Waste Authority under the WasteSorted Program, the Shire of Carnarvon will be delivering a series of workshops under 'Carnarvon Gets WasteSorted' and Carnarvon-specific marketing material to help our residents become more waste-conscious. This initiative aligns perfectly with the Shire's Strategic Community Plan, with the objective that our sustainable livelihoods create a community that can flourish into the future.

GREATSort Weekender - Car Boot Sale 

The Shire of Carnarvon is excited to host a Car Boot Sale as part of the GREATSort Weekender, in conjunction with the Courtyard Craft and Growers Market, on Saturday, 3rd May!


The GREATSort Weekender is all about rethinking waste—encouraging our community to reuse, repurpose, and rethink how we dispose of items. By giving pre-loved goods a second life, we can reduce landfill waste, support a circular economy, and promote sustainable habits in Carnarvon.


Whether you’re looking to declutter your home, sell unwanted items, or find a bargain, the Car Boot Sale is the perfect opportunity to do so while supporting waste reduction efforts.
