Cleaner Greener Schools
Cleaner Greener Schools is a sustainability accreditation program for primary and secondary schools across Queensland. Schools earn a 1 to 5 star rating for their environmental efforts, from litter reduction and recycling to energy, water, and biodiversity initiatives. The program helps students, teachers, and communities develop practical skills, and strengthen their commitment to a cleaner, greener future.

Tidy Towns
Tidy Towns is our flagship program celebrating the achievements of communities across Queensland working toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Since 2016, the program has included an accreditation component, recognising towns for their long-term commitment to environmental and community excellence. ​​​​​
Adopt-a-Spot
Litter on our roadways, and in our public spaces washes into stormwater drains entering local creeks, rivers and waterways, where it becomes lethal to marine and wildlife. By removing litter, groups are sending a clear message to the community that littering is unacceptable behaviour and to take care of our environment.
