♻️ Containers for Change | Coral Bay ♻️

We're back in Coral Bay tomorrow for our mobile pop up site from 11am - 1pm at the Emergency Services Building! 🚛

FYI - we can now accept semi crushed cans as long as they are not bailed and are free from contamination. 📣

Here are some handy tips and tricks to help make the refund process as quick as possible:
▪️Separate your containers into material types (cans, clear plastic, coloured plastic, glass, etc).
▪️Remove all container lids (you can still bring the lids to be recycled, however if our team do not need to remove the lids on each of your containers, that makes our job a WHOLE lot quicker and easier).
▪️Sign up for a Containers for Change Scheme ID, it's a great way to receive your refund straight into your bank account and is very easy to sign up for here: www.containersforchange.com.au
▪️Be kind to staff and volunteers who are doing their best to process your containers quickly and efficiently.

For more information on the refund points, dates of pop ups and how to prepare your containers, head to the ABC Foundation Ltd website 🔗 www.abcau.com.au/containers-for-change

🤝 Meet the Buyer and Supplier Forum 2021 🤝

Yesterday ABC Foundation’s PR and Partnership Inclusion Coordinator, Kate, attended the Meet the Buyer and Supplier Forum with Yulella Aboriginal Corporation’s Contract Manager, Denise.

Hosted at the RAC Arena by the Department of Transport, Main Roads Western Australia, PTA and METRONET, the forum enabled Indigenous Businesses to meet with organisations operating in the road and rail sector to make connections, network and share capabilities.

We want to thank Neville Collard for his Welcome to Country along with all of the organisers and stall holders, we made some great connections and are excited to explore new opportunities.

♻️ Containers for Change | Change Maker Awards

♻️ Containers for Change | Change Maker Awards ♻️

On Friday our PR and Partnerships Inclusion Coordinator, Kate, and Operations Manager, Deb, attended the Containers for Change WA Change Maker Conference. It was a wonderful day and Deb and Kate were both excited to hear about what is to come in the next year. 🙌

Friday night saw Kate continue onto the Awards night and we're excited to announce the nomination ABC Foundation submitted on behalf of the Carnarvon OB’s saw them announced as the WINNER of the Community Participant Award! 🎉

Unfortunately a member of the OB's team was unable to attend and so Kate was asked to accept on their behalf.

We want to congratulate the whole Carnarvon OB's team on the INCREDIBLE work they've done over the past year! 2.5 million containers were donated through the whole scheme to Community Groups and Charities, of that 713, 318 containers were donated through the OB's scheme ID showing the absolute MAMMOTH EFFORT of the team and everyone collecting on their behalf. 🤩

The 2020-2021 financial year saw the Carnarvon Branch of the Australian Order of Old Bastards raise over $93,000 - the most they have raised since 1983. All of these funds have been donated back into community groups and charities with the largest donation of $57,000 being made to the Royal Flying Doctor Service WA. ✈️

It is great to see the impact that Containers for Change is having on our environment and on reducing landfill. Don't Feed the Fill! ♻️

GREAT WORK and CONGRATULATIONS OB's ❤️💪
