Quick Contact
Scrapboy is an iconic Australian children’s character, live performer and circular‑economy champion from the much‑loved world of dirtgirlworld. Known for his boundless energy, quick wit and deep love of systems thinking, he helps children and families understand how the circularity of life really works — and how everyday actions can shape a better future.
Obsessed with all things RE — reducing, reusing, recycling, repairing and refilling — scrapboy believes the RE‑generation is here to rewrite the rules of waste and consumption. He appears solo, with his long‑time collaborator dirtgirl, or alongside Costa The Garden Gnome, delivering the much‑loved Grubby Bucket Show, high‑impact recycling and FOGO programs, and hands‑on creative workshops for early learning centres, schools, festivals, councils and community events.
A natural host and crowd‑connector, scrapboy is equally at home opening festivals, running awards nights, leading bin‑night frenzies or guiding students through junk‑to‑genius challenges. Funny, fearless and deeply thoughtful, scrapboy turns sustainability into something kids don’t just learn about — they fall in love with.
