Donations
You have the option of gifting your refund to a Donation Partner. Donation Partners are chosen from a list of not-for-profit and community organisations that have applied to become donation partners. There can be up to four to choose from on the touchscreen of every Reverse Vending Machine.
The recipients are rotated every three months so that all our Donation Partners receive equal benefit.
Our current donation partners are featured below.
