when containers are tossed,
what is lost?
You hold the power, so, what's it gonna be?
That's a golden opportunity displaced. Their lives can be extended. Every container, reinvented.
Through Containers for Change, Western Australians have saved more than 2.5 billion 10¢ containers from landfill.
But each year, more than 530 million 10¢ containers still go to waste, that's an opportunity forever erased.
Every 10¢ container that feeds the fill is wasted potential.
A change in behaviour is absolutely essential.
Returning our containers will make our world cleaner.
Providing jobs for thousands and making our state greener.
The potential for change is in you — anyone can be a container saver.
Start collecting your containers, that's the right behaviour.
How long does it take, do you suppose, for one 10¢ container to decompose?
Truth is, it never completely disappears. It continues to decay over hundreds of years.
What can a can become? What can a bottle be?
Collect and return them, and you'll see, all the things your containers can be.
They can live on, again and again, and you can save or donate to a cause you want to sustain.
Drop your 10¢ containers at hundreds of Containers for Change refund points and then you'll know just how much further every can, bottle and container can go.
You hold the power, so, what's it gonna be?
Throw away your 10¢ containers and you're not just sending them to landfill, you're giving up a chance of goodwill.
It doesn't need to be like this.
Are you really still feeding the fill?
Yes, you've chosen right!
You're joining others in this good cause fight.
We'll take this fight from our homes onto the street,
working together we will get landfill beat.
Since October 2020, over $250 million worth of container refunds has gone back into the WA community.
We've already saved more than 2.5 billion containers so far; enough to wrap around the earth 9 times!
