The Elliot Springs Voice - Summer 2021

Did you know that your containers are worth cash? The Containers for Change program allows you to get a 10c refund for every eligible container you return. It is a great way for the kids to earn some pocket money or donate to a worthy cause while keeping your local area clean as well! Elliot Springs is now home to a collection point (bag drop) near the Visitor Information Centre. So how does it work? 1 – Collect eligible containers (look out for the 10c collection mention on the label). There is an app www.containersforchange.com.au/qld/app y ou can download to scan the barcode to check. 2 – Take them to a container refund point (walk down to the Visitor Information Centre car park to drop them) 3 – Drop your bag, noting your Scheme ID and choose to earn or donate. If you want to keep the refund yourself, you’ll need to get yourself set up with a Scheme ID linked to your bank account – visit www.containersforchange.com.au/qld/how-it-works to create an ID (it is very easy). If you’d like to donate to a local group, find out their ID on the website www.containersforchange.com.au/qld/donate-your- refund so when you donate you can include it on your bag. Happy collecting!
