Get your group involved
-
1. Collect containers
Begin by setting up your Return and Earn collection points in an easy to access and secure area. Smaller groups could use recycling bins, but larger groups may need a caged trailer. -
2. Return containers
Smaller returns can use either a Reverse Vending Machine or an Automated Depot. However, for returns with over 500 containers, we recommend you take your items to an Automated Depot. -
3. Get refunds or donate
As you return the containers, you can choose to get a refund or donate. Other group members can also get involved. They simply need to have their returns refunded directly to your group’s account.- Set up a Return and Earn account with PayPal
- Share your unique barcode with your community
- They scan your barcode at a Reverse Vending Machine and your group account gets the refund
Getting started
Communication is key
Let your group know about the collection process, why it’s important and the impact it will have. This could be as simple as sending an email or holding a meeting.
Automated Depot partnership
Your group can partner with an Automated Depot. Some Automated Depots will also supply a collection bin.
Pay it forward
You can partner with organisations in your community like schools, who are happy to pick up your collection so it can go towards their own projects.
