Container Deposit Scheme around Australia – why your donations matter?
Deaf Children Australia is registered with the following recycling programs around Australia and are registering with all the other states and locations.
Every container you return and donate helps Deaf Children Australia support and empower more deaf and hard of hearing children and their families. Your contributions, no matter how small, add up to create big changes.
It’s a great opportunity to get kids, or grandkids involved. Turn recycling into a fun and educational activity that teaches them about recycling whilst helping support DCA.
Together, you can make a significant impact and inspire the next generation of Philanthropists.
Here’s how you can get involved:
- Collect: Gather eligible drink containers such as cans, bottles, and cartons.
- Return: Take them to your nearest CDS collection point.
- Donate: When prompted, nominate Deaf Children Australia as your chosen charity.
For more information on how it works, and to find your nearest CDS collection point, see the links for your state below:
