Be Part of the Summer of Change
This summer, we invite workplaces, schools, cafés and community groups to join our Summer of Change Initiative. By collecting 10 cent containers through Containers for Change WA, you can support burn research while helping reduce waste to landfill. It is a simple, low effort way to make a difference for people recovering from burn injury.
How Summer of Change works
Through Containers for Change WA, every eligible container is worth 10 cents. By nominating the Fiona Wood Foundation as your chosen recipient using our Scheme ID C10402626, your empty drink containers help to support our research and education efforts. You can also scan our barcode at any Reverse Vending Machine.
Getting involved is easy:
- Set up a collection point at your workplace, school, café or community space.
- Encourage staff, students or customers to drop their eligible 10 cent containers in.
- Return the containers through Containers for Change WA and nominate the Fiona Wood Foundation.
- Use our Scheme ID C10402626 or scan our barcode at a Reverse Vending Machine.
Eligible containers
Not all containers can be returned. A simple way to remember what is eligible:
Aluminium is a win. Glass and plastic are always in. Steel and paper are good to go. But milk and wine bottles are a no.
