Success story
Learn about one school’s achievements
At a primary school in Sydney, recycling isn’t just about doing the right thing for the environment – it’s also a clever way to raise funds for the school.
Vanda, the president of the school’s P&C Association, shares how they’ve turned the simple act of recycling into a powerful tool for financial support and sustainability education.
How it works
1. Collect containers
Collect your 10¢ drink containers in durable bags or cardboard boxes. We recommend ordering our Orange bag Starter Kit.
2. Book a pickup
When you’ve got roughly 250 containers (that’s 5 Orange bags) or more, sign into your account to book a pickup.
3. Leave it to us
Leave your containers in a safe and accessible place on collection day. We’ll swing by to pick up. Once we’ve counted your containers, we’ll pay your refunds into your account.

No contamination, just the circular economy at work
