Containers for Change provides an exciting opportunity for community groups, sporting clubs and charities to raise much-needed funds by encouraging members of the community to donate their 10c refund.

Community groups can become a physical donation point, having a bin or cage on-site where people can safely drop off their eligible containers. These donated containers are then accepted by the local Containers for Change Refund Point and the community group receives their cash or electronic donation.

The official Refund Point for the Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes is located at the Bridgetown Waste Facility and is managed by Hastie Waste. Interested Groups are encouraged to contact Hastie Waste to organise their container drop-offs.

Alternatively, community groups can become a virtual Donation Point, setting up a Containers for Change Scheme ID online and distributing this Scheme ID to supporters. Anyone returning eligible containers to a Refund Point can then donate their refund to the group via your Scheme ID, with refunds transferred via direct deposit into your group’s nominated bank account. 

You can learn more and register your group for a Scheme ID here.
