Recycle Rewards Fundraising

RECYCLE REWARDS

Why fundraise with Recycle Rewards?

Recycle Rewards gives Tasmanian charities, community groups, sporting clubs and educational organisations a new way to fundraise while doing something good for their local environment!

Groups can get involved in a number of ways, including:

  • Apply to be a registered Donation Partner to receive refunds directly from the community.
  • Apply to host and operate a refund point for Recycle Rewards.
  • Host container collection drives for the local community to donate their eligible drink containers.

Getting your group involved encourages local participation in recycling, resulting in a positive impact on your local community – all while earning some extra money to help towards your fundraising goals!

What is a Donation Partner?

A Donation Partner is a not-for-profit organisation such as a charity, school, sports club or community organisation that meets the below guidelines and has completed all registration steps, which will allow them to be featured on the Recycle Rewards App and receive donated refunds from any person returning eligible containers who chooses to do so.
