TOMRA Cleanaway 2026 Australian Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards Sponsor

TOMRA Cleanaway is proud to be a national awards sponsor of the 2026 Keep Australia Beautiful Australian Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards, taking place in Launceston, Tasmania from 15–17 May 2026.

Hosted by Keep Australia Beautiful and held in Launceston — the 2025 National Tidy Towns winner — the 2026 national awards will bring together communities from across Australia who are leading the way in environmental stewardship, sustainability innovation, and local pride.

As a national sponsor, TOMRA Cleanaway is honoured to support an awards program that celebrates practical, community driven action to protect the environment and build cleaner, more sustainable places to live.

For more than five decades, the Australian Tidy Towns program has recognised towns and cities that demonstrate excellence in environmental leadership — from waste reduction and resource recovery to biodiversity protection and community engagement.

The national awards shine a spotlight on communities that are turning ambition into action, showing what’s possible when local leadership, volunteers, councils and industry work together to care for their environment.

This mission strongly aligns with TOMRA Cleanaway’s commitment to advancing circular economy outcomes, improving resource recovery, and empowering communities to reduce waste and keep valuable materials in circulation.

The 2026 Australian Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards will be held over three days in Launceston, Tasmania, featuring:

• State finalist case study presentations
• Opportunities to share best practice and learn from leading communities
• A celebration gala dinner announcing the 2026 national category winners and overall Australian Tidy Towns winner

Held at the meeting point of the North Esk, South Esk and Tamar Rivers, Launceston offers a fitting backdrop for the awards, combining a rich natural environment with a strong focus on sustainability and liveability.

“TOMRA Cleanaway is proud to stand alongside Keep Australia Beautiful in recognising communities that are taking meaningful action for a cleaner, more sustainable Australia,” said James Dorney, CEO of TOMRA Cleanaway.

“Programs like Tidy Towns demonstrate the power of local initiatives to create lasting environmental and social impact. We are delighted to support the 2026 national awards and to celebrate the achievements of communities across the country.”

Through this sponsorship, TOMRA Cleanaway reinforces its commitment to working collaboratively with communities, governments and organisations to drive positive environmental outcomes – today and for future generations.

We look forward to celebrating Australia’s most inspiring sustainability initiatives in Launceston this May and congratulating the communities who continue to lead by example.
