Any surplus revenue generated by Not For Waste is reinvested into our mission, including community waste initiatives and better waste outcomes across Melbourne. Fees from our consultation programs help fund the work we offer for free. The organization exists to serve the community, not to make a profit.

Yes. We’re currently building a network where people working in waste and sustainability can share their work. If you’d like your service, project or initiative featured, get in touch through our contact page with a short description and we’ll get in touch.

We offer a free initial consultation to talk through your waste challenges. Our consultation programs are then tailored to suit your business, building and day-to-day operations. An agreed cost will be confirmed before we start. Fees from these programs help fund the free and community work we do, alongside maintaining and building our waste network.
