THE SIMPLE PART
You fill the bin.
We handle the rest.
One collection point is all it takes to get started. A practical recycling routine that fits around your workplace.
Make a little space.
We arrange a clearly labelled collection point for eligible 10¢ drink containers in your lunchroom, office or shared space.
Leave the collection to us.
Your team drops in their empty containers. We agree a pickup schedule and handle collection, sorting and return for recycling.
See the good add up.
You receive a simple monthly summary of containers returned and the contribution generated for your nominated charity or community organisation.
FROM YOUR BIN TO SOMETHING BIGGER
A little from everyone.
More support
for someone.
Every accepted container returns 10¢. We contribute 1¢ of that refund — 10% — to the registered charity or community organisation your workplace nominates.
If you choose a food-relief organisation, your combined contribution can support its work helping people access food. The charity determines how funds are used.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Clear from
the start.
Is the service really free?
There is no service fee for a participating workplace. The program is funded by the container refunds. We confirm your collection point and pickup arrangements before starting.
How does the 30-day trial work?
We start with one agreed collection point, arrange pickups and assess the container volume with you. At the end of 30 days, we discuss whether ongoing collection suits your workplace. There is no long-term commitment.
Which containers can we collect?
Collect eligible drink containers accepted by Victoria's Container Deposit Scheme. Check for the 10¢ refund marking and the official eligibility guidance before adding a container. Empty containers, leave them uncrushed and keep other rubbish out of the collection point. Lids can stay on.
How is the 10% contribution calculated?
It is 10% of the refund proceeds actually received for your workplace's accepted containers, before our operating costs. For example, $100 in refunds generates a $10 contribution. Your impact summary records the containers and contribution generated.
Can we choose the cause?
Yes. Nominate a registered charity or community organisation. We confirm the recipient and contribution arrangements together before the trial begins.
What does our team need to do?
Provide an agreed space for the collection point, tell staff what belongs in it, and allow access for scheduled pickups. We take care of the sorting and returns.
ONE BIN. THIRTY DAYS. SEE WHAT ADDS UP.
