Earlier in the year, Tasmania joined other states around Australia, offering 10c refund for returning eligible drink containers to designated refund points around Tasmania.

This Term, Scotch Oakburn College has partnered with City Mission to launch the Recycle Rewards Campus Challenge. All proceeds (10c per container) received from eligible drink containers recycled on campus at the Junior School, Middle School and Senior School will go to the City Mission.

What can Families do? Collect and return containers to the College

We invite you to collect and return eligible drink containers to collections bins at either campus at the College. Collections will be collated for each campus and a running tally updated each fortnight in the College News. The race is on to see which campus will be crowned Recycle Rewards Champion 2025, presentation of a perpetual trophy and bragging rights.

If members of the College Community would like empty containers collected from home or work sites, please contact me at jamie.breden@soc.tas.edu.au to I will be happy to organise.

All donations will go directly to City Mission funded community programs. For further details click here – Recycle Rewards — City Mission
