Your School Can Be Part of The Change
Calling all schools and P&Cs!
Do you want to raise money for your school by saving 10¢ containers?
Every 10¢ drink container has the chance to live its potential, again and again. We work with local communities, beverage companies, recyclers, and the waste industry to recycle 10¢ containers and put money back into the Western Australian community.
Collecting at your school is easy!
Get a member number for your school
It’s easy to sign up for a school member number! Simply choose a Team Leader to be responsible for your account, then add multiple users so everyone can track your returns, refunds, and donations.
Become part of our donations network
Once you have a member number, you can be listed in our state-wide Good Causes Directory for donation recipients. This way, anyone can find you and choose to donate their individual returns straight to your cause.
Set up a donation point at your school
Your school may choose to become a donation point. This means accepted 10¢ containers can be dropped off and donated to your school, further contributing to your school’s fundraising goals.
