Waste to Wellbeing Program

The City of Ballarat’s Waste to Wellbeing program is working to empower the Ballarat community and businesses to improve social and economic wellbeing, using activities like reselling, reusing, sharing, repairing and composting to keep value and create value from our waste. 

Working with Circular Economy Victoria we are mapping out all the great circular economy initiatives taking place to encourage our community to avoid landfill and embrace reusing, repairing and repurposing. 

Some great local circular economy initiatives that exist in Ballarat include: 

• Ballarat Cloth Nappy Library  
• Ballarat Toy Library 
• Ballarat Tool Library 
• Ballarat Whole Foods Collective 
• Flash Drive Beyond Classroom  
• Food is Free Laneway 
• Hidden Orchard 
• Recranked (YMCA ) 
• Thread Together
