Waste 2 Art is an annual community art exhibition and competition that features artworks created by community members using recycled and unwanted materials. The results are imaginative and thought-provoking with the artworks showcasing recycling and sustainable living. With this creative use of waste materials, Waste 2 Art also provides an innovative approach to waste education. Schools and community groups take up the challenge and create artworks out of materials that might otherwise be thrown away. ​ The theme for this year's exhibition is Packaging. Dubbo Regional Council is a proud NetWaste member and supports commitment to re-use and recycle through creative expression.
