Drink Container Refund for Charity
In 2018, the Queensland Container Refund Scheme, Containers for Change, was introduced, giving a 10-cent refund for eligible drink containers. There are more than 230 container refund points operating across the state, including the Envirobank Smart Pod located on the St Lucia campus.
During Sustainability Week, instead of using a refund point bring your drink containers to Campbell place and choose a charity to donate your 10c refund to.
- Time: All week
- Hosted by: Sustainability Office & Property and Facilities
