WE’RE OPEN: Return and Earn return points across NSW are open and can be accessed for returns in line with the latest Public Health Orders.
Return and Earn is proud to partner with the Australian Association for Environmental Education NSW to deliver free teaching resources for Early Learning through to Stage 5.
These curriculum-linked resources provide practical ways for teachers to engage students on sustainability and recycling and support their school’s participation in the Return and Earn container deposit scheme.
Set up collection stations at the school for students to return their empty drink containers. Identify suitable collection points within your school, such as near the canteen or recreational areas, or in each classroom, and place clean labelled bins with signs showing pictures of eligible cans and bottles. Download the Return and Earn Fundraising Toolkit to access helpful resources and tips. When the bins are full, take to your nearest return point and receive your refund.
Organise regular drop-offs and encourage families to bring in eligible cans and bottles collected at home.
Organise a recycling competition or a container collection drive over a particular period (School Clean Up Day, National Recycling Week, school fete or other event).
Search if your suburb is served by one of our automated depots. They can provide bins and regular collection services for your school. Alternatively, contact us and we will be happy to put you in contact with your nearest automated depots.
Ask your Parents & Citizens Association to register for a scheme barcode to fundraise with Return and Earn.
