Member number makes returning 10¢ containers and receiving donations, easy.
It only takes a few minutes to sign up, just make sure you have your group's contact and payment details handy.

Your group member number will let you add a captain and teammates, so everyone in your organisation can get involved.
3. Decide your fundraising approach
Decide how you want to collect your 10¢ containers, whether that's by becoming a donation point, receiving refunds directly, or by collecting 10¢ containers at events.
4. Get 10¢ container savvy
It’s easy to check for the 10¢ mark but making sure you and your team know which 10¢ containers are accepted will make the most of your collecting efforts.

What’s your fundraising approach?
Once you have your group member number, you'll need to decide on the fundraising approach that best suits you.
BECOME A DONATION POINT
If you have the space, you can choose to become a donation point. This lets people drop their 10¢ containers off at your location, so you can return them and collect the refund for your group.
COLLECT AT EVENTS
If you're hosting a community event, it is a great opportunity to collect extra 10¢ containers.
Before the event, chat with your local refund point to determine what collection infrastructure and other support you’ll need.
REFUND DONATIONS
Share your group’s member number, so when your supporters take their 10¢ containers to a refund point, they can choose to donate their refund directly to you.
The refund point will process their refund to your bank account by using your group’s member number.
Your Group's Captain
Before you start fundraising you’ll need to sign your organisation up for a group member number.
To do this, you'll need to connect an individual member number account, so we know who to contact if we need to. This individual account will become your group's captain — but don't worry — once you're logged in, you can change your captain at any time.
When you are setup, your captain can then add teammates to your group's account, making it easy for everyone to track your fundraising efforts.
