Become part of the change

Young people in Western Australia see, use and dispose of recyclable containers every day—including plastic and glass bottles, drink cartons, cans and pouches.

These don't have to end up in landfill. Eligible 10c containers can be collected and recycled, raising funds for your school and giving containers a chance to live their potential, again and again.
