We can beat it, if we don’t feed it
With your support, Containers for Change has saved over a billion 10¢ containers from landfill in Western Australia — and we're just starting.
CONTAINERS LIVING ON, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
When you return your 10¢ containers with us, you're part of a bigger cycle — where everybody wins.
10¢ containers are saved from landfill so they can live another life, jobs are created, and money goes back into the pockets of everyday Western Australians.
What we do
Each year, Western Australians buy more than 1.45 billion 10¢ drink containers. Sadly, hundreds of millions end up as litter or in landfill.
Containers for Change targets the beverage containers that are commonly littered. This includes plastic and glass bottles, liquid paperboard cartons, and steel and aluminium cans.
Together we can keep these 10¢ containers out of landfill, give them another life, and help our community while doing it.
HOW IT WORKS
Thousands of Western Australians, just like you, are recycling their 10¢ containers through Containers for Change.
Each returned and accepted container gives you a 10¢ refund. You can choose to keep the refund — receiving it as cash or as a bank or PayPal transfer — or you can donate it to a local charity, community group, or school.
WHAT HAPPENS TO RETURNED 10¢ CONTAINERS?
Containers for Change works with accredited recyclers to ensure your 10¢ containers are recycled, so they can live another life.
Once you've returned your 10¢ containers, we sort them into their different material types. They're then transported to a processing facility so they can be prepared for recycling.
Accredited recyclers then purchase our recycled material and give them another life as new containers or other products.
