WAYS TO FUNDRAISE
There are a few different ways that you can start making the most from collecting containers.
Share your scheme ID
Provide your supporters with your scheme ID number and encourage them to use it when returning their containers.
Become a donation location
Your supporters can donate their containers directly by dropping them off at your location.
Partner with your local container refund point
Introduce yourself to your local operator to see what support they can offer to boost your fundraising.
RSPCA Queensland provides orphaned animals that come into their care with essentials like a bed, litter tray and toys using the refunds from just 250 containers.
